[Qgis-user] Problem saving an image w/annotated notes?

[ELHOA]

Thanks Alex,

Save image from the composer does capture all the annotated info, and at 300dpi the resolution is good.  It can be saved as jpg, tif or any number of other file types.  There are some alignment issues but I can  work on it.
