        What is the advantage of the snipping tool? Quality looks the same as the sketchup export to me.

          Yes, that's normally what i do when I need an SU image, I export around 7000x7000 and reduce to 1000x1000 and it's crisp.

          What if we don't have PhotoShop? ๐ŸŽ‰

            You can use GiMP which is free. Even Picasa would probably do a good enough job just down sizing the image.

              For simple resizing and editing, Irfanview is pretty effective.
              For example, it offers a number of algorithms for resizing.
              And it's free. http://www.irfanview.com/

                Do you export with antialiasing at 7000 pixels or without?
                I've never could export antialiased more than some 4500 pixels. ๐Ÿ˜ข

                  I guess it's withOUT as when you resample the image, you can set antialiasing anyway.

                    I export oversize images like Solo suggested also, and I always do no antialising. I feel Photoshop (or the others) do a better job with the anti-aliasing than SU does anyhow.

                        Hmmm... I might have to try without AA again.
                        In the past when I have exported without AA, sometimes lines were skipped and it looked really ugly even when reduced in size.

                          i'm wondering if su8 is somehow allowing bigger exports..
                          i just exported a 10k entity model to 19,500 px wide with AA off and jpg compression set to best. (14 seconds with shadows off.. 24secs with them on)
                          iirc, i used to only be able to go to around 15000px.
                          anyone else seeing similar improvements?
