Hi Gerard,

There is a difference in the way the SAVEAS function and 'File->Save As' menu item (from within the MATLAB Figure window) export files to the current directory.

The 'File->Save As' menu item uses the HGEXPORT function to export files but with the SAVEAS function one cannot specify the resolution of the exported figure. For more information, you can refer to the following link:

Hope this helps.
