When I import an image into PTCreate it is either too large or too small. (LX610)

You can resize images to any size you wish but if you want to skip that step, make sure to create images at 300 DPI to maintain their original size when importing into PTCreate.

For Example, an image that is 1200 pixels wide by 900 pixels tall, if the DPI is 300, the image will be imported at 4" x 3". 1200/300 = 4 and 900/300 = 3.

 

If the DPI is less than 300 DPI, it will import larger than you intend.  If the DPI is more than 300 DPI it will import smaller than you intend.
