Hello,

i've got a little problem that is making me crazy!

I make this steps:
- i create an actor;
- load the image;
- drag the image on the actor;
- drag the actor on the stage;

what it happens is that the image is smaller then the original and if i try to resize it, it become pixelate. If i try to change the settings to the original dimensions, the actor become pixelate.

How can i fix this problem?

Thank you so much.

    The actors size should match the image size.
    I have never had a problem with this.

    Also use only PNG files...not jpgs (if you are). PNG files are vector based and scale seamlessly. Jpgs are raster based and will pixelate if scaled.

    I had a similar problem with some images after some checking I found out I forgot to change them to 72 dpi. Maybe that's your problem.

    Yay!!! Thank you!!! I thought that i should use 160dpi images!

    I changed them in 72dpi and everything works fine now! :D

    Thank you so much!!!

    72 dpi is always used in web and computer graphics
    150+ is for print graphics.

    Very surprised that DPI is taken into account at all, but I was seeing strange scaling problems, and changing my DPI from 72 to 300 fixed it. Thanks!

    Synthesis's early comment is incorrect, however. .png, like .gif, is a raster format. It doesn't do vectrors, and doesn't scale seamlessly (like, say, Adobe Illustrator files do). More info on the format here:
