I now have to work from home and use my lab PC remotely. I noticed that suddenly, when I control the ChimeraX session remotely, the images rendered with the same command are lower quality than normal (I'm attaching a comparison). I thought that it might be a connection problem, so I downloaded the last ChimeraX version in this laptop. For two days it worked normally (meaning that the images were saved at expected quality after opening ChimeraX session saved in the other PC). Suddenly today, the same problem started to happen in my laptop. After playing around, I noticed that the problem occurs when I open the Side View panel, change the view, and then save. If I instead modify the view, save the session, close the program, open the session and save directly (without opening the side view panel) the quality is normal. So: open session --> change view with side view --> save = image quality low; change view with side view --> save session --> close session --> open session --> save = image quality normal. This is the command I'm using: save C:\Users\Lucas\Desktop\sideview.png transparentBackground true supersample 3 The behaviour on my lab PC is not affected by this (it doesn't matter what I do, it is saving them at lower quality). I hope my description is legible. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Log: UCSF ChimeraX version: 0.93 (2020-03-19) © 2016-2020 Regents of the University of California.
