Our application captures transparent PNG images for use in email distribution. This is because some recipients use dark background vs. others with a light background.
Aspose seems to be distorting the image when a transparent background is used, but not when a fill is used for the cells.
Please see the following screenshots and attached solution for a demo of the issue.

Ahsan,
I just tried with the 21.9 Nuget package and I’m still seeing the problem. Is there a newer unrelease version where this is fixed?
Thanks,
Matt
@mhopkins
I have also used NuGet package manager to download the latest version. Please share your environment details where this issue is tested. Also do you find this issue in the images shared here? If yes, please identify for our reference.
The images you posted earlier look great and not distorted at all.

@mhopkins,
Thank you for sharing the environment details. We have observed the issue and logged it in our database for further investigation. You will be notified here once any update is ready for sharing.
This issue is logged as:
CELLSNETCORE-268 - Distorted image created when a transparent background is used
Thanks for the update.
-Matt
When you draw a text to a tranparent image, the text will be burred. Please add set AntiAlias for text.
So the ImageOrPrintOptions will be:
new ImageOrPrintOptions
{
OnePagePerSheet = true,
ImageType = Aspose.Cells.Drawing.ImageType.Png,
HorizontalResolution = 200,
VerticalResolution = 200,
Transparent = true,
TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias,
}Thank you for the “hint”. This works great.
I see that the default value for TextRenderingHint is set to SystemDefault. What does Aspose look for in the OS, Windows 10 in my case, when determining what the system default is?
Thanks again,
Matt
We pass the TextRenderingHint in ImageOrPrintOptions to System.Drawing.Graphics.TextRenderingHint(the default value is SystemDefault) while generating the output image.
