Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 86312
Low quality antialiasing of bitmap images
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:34 UTC
Antialiasing is done on bitmap images in a presentation, but not at very high quality, which results in poor display on screen. See attached presentation and screenshot for example. The embedded screenshots in the presentation are almost unreadable. Gimp could have resized them much more clearly.
Created attachment 51629 [details] Presentation with embedded screenshots showing poor scaling
Created attachment 51630 [details] Screenshot of viewing the presentation, showing the poor scaling.
Please give me a step by step description what I have to do to reproduce the bug.
Just open the presentation and press F5. Before viewing with F5, in editing mode, the quality is worse, but I can live with that. In viewing mode (after F5) I'd expect the bitmap to be rendered with high-quality anti-aliasing, but as the screenshot shows, the text in the bitmaps is basically unreadable.
Set to new and change the target
The text looks blurred in the running presentation and is bad readable. In PPT the antialiasing is better but the text is also hard to read because of the size of the text. Please have a look if you could improve the antialiasing.
In editing mode, the GDI+ is used to draw which has the antialiasing parameter. But in viewing mode, the GDI is used which has not the parameter. So, the result is more poor. What we should do is to using GDI+ function to draw a bitmap in viewing mode.
Hello, are there any news on this topic? I recently had the same problem, the worse part was that I didn't know about the not-anti aliasing of OOo and when I previewed the slides on my desktop everything looked fine as there was still a high resolution, but on the beamer and during the presentation it was horrible. so after complainants from my audience, I know switched to powerpoint again :-/ so I'm really looking forward to see this topic as closed (as solved ;).
