PNG Blurry after Import/Export?

Postby WindKnot » Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:28 am

Let's say I import an image into inkscape, why is it blurry on import? I found a way around it, by opening the image directly with inkscape but now have another problem, on export it turns the image blurry. Has anyone else had this problem? With that said I love this piece of software and want to stick with it.

To make it sharp the image needs to be snapped to half-pixel grid. There's an extension I think it's called Pixelsnap that does this, or you can create the grid yourself and use snapping. Search forum to get more info it's been asked before.
