EDIT: Background images wrong size after move to Windows 10

Post by TWAnnie »

Hi everyone, I just re-installed Flare 2017 r3 on my new laptop. This one runs Windows 10; the previous one ran Windows 7.
When I open my Flare projects, some background images are the wrong size. They show up too large in the print preview and also in the generated PDFs.
I had the issue with an .eps image - that was resolved by installing ghostscript.
I've already switched off the options for resizing images.

However, I still have several .png images @300 dpi used as background images that now display and print as if they were screen resolution (72 or 96 ppi).
Some use a .css setting as follows:
"background-size: 10mm auto;"
but this seems to be ignored.

Here's a screenshot of what such an image looks like now, and what it should look like. The exclamation mark on the left is too large; on the right it is correct.

Any mad ideas about what could be the cause? Much appreciated...


***EDIT***
I switched 'Automatically resize low DPI images' on, and now the image appears in the correct size again. However, the .css background-size setting still doesn't make any difference. So I have to make the image at the desired size in Photoshop for it to show up correctly.
Flare changes the background-position, background-image, background-repeat settings, but not background-size. Very strange.

Good luck and good writing!

I have a similar experience.
Have you found a way to scale vector graphics as background images?
