Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: QTR image size problem

2012-05-02 by Roy Harrington

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure exactly what your issue is.  Ned's I believe is due to
the scaling in 1%
increments.  Sounds like yours may be different.  I'm not sure whether
your "size"
references are "pixel sizes" or "linear sizes".

Another thing that has shown up sometimes is using JPG files.  A lot
of the programs
that save jpg's seem to leave out the "linear size" of the image.
(i.e. 1000 pixels could be
any number of inches).   Different libraries that read/write the file
then make different
resolution assumptions/defaults.   This makes the scaling a problem sometimes.

Are you using jpg's?  Did you find a setup that works consistently?
-- could be just that you used PS which I think always saves the linear size.
