Weird. Import an image, scale it down (make it remarkably tiny like a stamp) and convert to bitmap @ 300 dpi + Antialiasing "on". The image becomes terribly pixellated. :o As a workaround, Resample Image works but then, why do we have Antialiasing on convert to bitmap options? Only for vectoral stuff? It should be able to interpolate the image pixels as well...
That certainly need to go on the list. Consider it done.

I checked to be sure it works perfectly. Not enough pixels is not enough pixels. Anti-aliasing only smooths the image in that case and stops pixels from posterisation.
Thanks! But, I've forgotten to add something. Could you please rotate the image a bit and try again? I think it's the rotation it cannot handle. :(
Thanks for confirming!

Yani, any idea why this is not fixed in X5SP1? :(

Yani, how long will it take to fix this? :) Still not fixed in SP2...
Please read my previous posts. It will most likely never be fixed because it isn't broken.
If this is something that you do a lot, try doing it the other way around:Scale the bitmap down to "stamp size", convert to a 300 dpi bitmap and then rotate it.As long as you keep it inside Draw the pixels will be rotated and it looks pretty good on screen.If you need to export out of Draw as a bitmap, the image must be converted again, either with Convert to Bitmap or on Export, but either way the result gets slightly better than trying to convert a downscaled and rotated bitmap in one step.
