Hi Barry, This is very likely a problem related to "supersampling", an option for producing higher quality images with Chimera. You should try changing the supersample setting in the File / Save Image... dialog. I suspect 1x1 will not give the grid but the fonts won't look as good in the image. The normal 3x3 setting makes an image 3 times larger in both dimensions then averages it down to your requested size. That smooths out jagged edges. You can get a similar effect by using 1x1 (no supersampling) then make a bigger image and reduce its size in a photo editing program (photoshop, gimp). Tom Barry Lever wrote:
AS a new user of Chimera, I apologize for asking what , for many of you, is probably a trivial question.... initially when using Chimera ,creating an image (using pseudobond Reader) and then saving an image file, (save image) all worked well, but in the last couple of days, every time I save an image file in whatever mode (png, tif, jpg etc), I get my image with a heavy black grid across it.(and on two different computers). I am using Chimera 1.254. Is there a simple fix- it feels like a conflict. I attach one of the images Thanks for your help (Windows XP, SP3)
