Description Mike Doherty 2014-02-22 03:40:39 UTC
I have a presentation with a very large image. In editing view, it gets scaled down nicely, and there's very little in the way of aliasing or moire pattern visible. When I run the presentation, the image is scaled poorly, and severe moire patterning is visible. The same thing happens if I remove the background and instead insert the image as a normal image object in the slide itself.

I have both hardware acceleration and antialiasing enabled in Options > View > Graphics output.

The best workaround is to:
  - scale the image to the right size and resolution yourself outside Impress, or
  - insert the image as an image object within the slide, and then right-click on it, and select "Compress graphic" to scale it down to size

Either of these will permanently change the image in your presentation, so you might end up changing the image for each different output device.

Instead, Impress should scale the image down better.

I'll attach screenshots showing the effect shortly.

Please could you attach a presentation document showing the problem?

Note: we do not need your photo and your cv, the part of the cloth showing the moire effect.

Best regards. JBF

I've uploaded a presentation with just the one problematic slide to Dropbox, because it's too large to be uploaded here: https://db.tt/pOAmrtYc

The Dropbox link is now 404. Our upload limit is currently 30MB. Mike: please attach the presentation. Well, re-test before uploading.
