As i recall you need to state the resolution of the output image ( some place in the qgis gui ) i can not recall at this time where it is .
Thanks for your reply. I seem to to able to export in the quality I want, but it seems like the fact I've changed the projection of the map is ignored by QGIS

This is what the cropped area on my QGIS looks like before being exported:

But once it's exported its squashed back to resembling a Equirectangular projection

You wouldn't happen to know what I'm doing wrong?
