Why do resized smaller projects become so blurry

Question

Hello,

Why, when resizing a project smaller, do both the text and
graphics end up smaller. I'm also scratching my head about why the
text in the text captions doesn't scale down with the rest of the
project. It ends up looking freakishly large in comparison, forcing
a redo on the text size across the board. But more importantly, the
whole project takes on a blur, which doesn't make sense since you
are reducing the image -- logic says quality shouldn't drop on a
down -- and the file actually ends up being larger than the
original, despite its reduced pixel dimensions.

So why the blur?

Thanks

Hi YogamboBlurring occurs because of the inherent way Bitmap (orRaster) images are constructed. Essentially, these are nothing morethan a collection of colored dots. The dots are referred to asPixEls. (a contraction of Picture Elements)If you shrink a bitmapped image, the computer has torecalculate what colors the dots are, because essentially some arebeing removed. The result of this is that the clarity begins tosuffer.As for why the text in captions doesn't get scaled down,there are options that you can set to tell Captivate to leave thoseelements alone when resizing. Odds are, this option told Captivateto leave the Captions as is.Cheers... Rick
