When adding a shadow or a frame (or both) to an embedded picture the picture gets blurry as if it was re sampled. 1. Open a new document. 2. Insert -> Picture -> From file ... 3. Choose a lossless format like a GIF 4. See that the picture looks sharp and clear 5. Select the picture and from the context menu choose "Picture ..." 6. Choose the borders tab and set a frame border (four sides) and a bottom right shadow. 7. See that the picture got blurry In the attached screen shot I've inserted the same picture twice, the top one is after adding the Frame+Shadow. The lower one is not altered

MRU->SJ: the effect also be seen in Draw. Just insert the attached graphic into document (yes, will also work with the screenshot of the test case ;-) ) and just make it a little bit smaller -> you will see that the lower part of the graphic becomes blurred and also some of the colors will get stronger presence. In Writer this is easily visible when adding a shadow to the graphic (via its properties).
