This article was previously published under Q113848 SUMMARY
When a sticker in Fine Artist is resized using the Shrinker and then
enlarged using the Grower, it looks like a bitmap, often to the point
where the sticker is no longer recognizable.
Steps to Reproduce Problem- Place a sticker on a painting.
- Click the Transformer tool.
- Click the Shrinker tool.
- Click and hold down the mouse button so the mouse cursor is on the
sticker until the sticker is half its original size.
- Click the Grower tool.
- Click and hold down the mouse button so the mouse cursor is on the
sticker until the sticker returns to its original size.
RESULT: The sticker looks very jagged (like a bitmap) and is distorted.
MORE INFORMATION
When a sticker is reduced in size, pixels are removed to scale down the
bitmap. When the same sticker is re-enlarged, those pixels are not
replaced, and the sticker may look as though it was assembled from square
blocks. Rather than enlarging it, once a sticker has been reduced in
size, it should be removed and replaced with a new sticker if a larger
size is desired.
