Camera Tool question

**PaulJohns** · 11-27-2010, 04:27 PM

I have just discovered the camera tool. It seems a great little tool but the image appears different from the original cells. It is not as clear and the text or numbers are touching oneanother. Is there a way to make it clearer.
Thank you

make sure the cells you are "photographing" are big enough and use a reasonable font. i cant reproduce your issue.

Attached an example showing camera shots using different fonts and sizes. Doesnt look right to me?
Thank you for any suggestions

This is very strange. When I open your compare file on my PC it squashes the text again. Must be something to do with my settings but I have no idea what needs adjusting. Any ideas?
Many thanks for the help.

Same problem here. I get the exact same distorted text. Not sure what is causing this but even old Excel files that worked fine with the camera tool now distort the image. This occurs on multiple machines with Excel 2013. I'm not even sure what setting would affect this in Excel.
