Matching the Image Resizing Behavior of Previous Versions

Starting with Flare 10, images with a very low DPI are rendered more accurately in the XML Editor (WYSIWYG) and PDF output, usually resulting in slightly larger and more blurry images (as is consistent with their lower DPI). Therefore, if you upgrade from an older version to Flare 10 or higher, you might notice images that looked a certain size before now look larger and more blurry (because their true DPI is being rendered more precisely). The best solution, and a long-term one, is to replace your lower-DPI images with higher-DPI images to be used in print output. But you also have the option to revert back to previous version behavior.

How to Match the Image Resizing Behavior of Previous Versions

  1. Select File > Options.

    The Options dialog opens.

  2. Select the General tab.
  3. Select Automatically resize low DPI images or remove the check mark, depending on which behavior you want to use:
    • Selected If this option is selected, the new, more precise behavior of Version 10 and later is used.
    • Not Selected If this option is not selected, the older behavior of Version 9 and earlier is used.
  4. Click OK.
