Hi Jetro,
I'm sorry ... you are right: I took a shortcut in my explanation.
Yes, when I said LDGlite is producing lower quality images I should have said also different. Color shadows and gradients on the brick are poor, the wire isn't always black as it should (except for black bricks), anti-aliasing not as good as LDView, well generally speaking not usable in my opinion for high quality instructions and size is not quite matching.... but it is amazingly fast and help speed up the rough work.
I personally try to make the instructions as close as possible as the LEGO Group, so I personally don't care about the LEGO logo since they are not using it either.
The mixup happened to you is because LPub is keeping a cache of step images in a temp folder in order to speed up image rendering process. From time to time if you change a step and do not refresh, or if you load different files form the same folder mixups can happen. Just make sure to empty the cache (there are 2 menu items for this in LPub3D) and you are good to go!
Good luck,
- Mattia
