Line Work Size

[evilboy1034]

I want to make my own pixel, some people say, "Linework is the best and it owns!" (something along those lines) While other say, "Linework/scanning is not even real pixeling." Well, I'm going to linework anyway, and I need to know what the sizes are. It is a 400x150 pixel size but what are the lengths of each side? For example:

 

 

 

-----------2 in------------

 

| |

 

| |

 

1 in. 1 in.

 

| |

 

-----------2 in------------

 

 

 

So basically, what would they be if I am to do some linework? Or should I try to make it bigger and then scan it and resize it? (I don't know how to do that)

 

 

 

Thank you,

Wow, thats bigger than what I thought it was. Thanks for telling me.

 

 

 

Btw, mind telling me how you got that?

One of the nice things about MsPaint is that it can convert length units from pixels to metric (cm) or english units (inches) automatically without you having to do any math by hand.

 

 

 

Just go to Attributes under the Image menu, and you'll find this screen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Input the size you want, and just select different units to find out what you're looking for.

 

 

 

If you want to know how much 1 inch in pixels is, just put 1 when using inches, and then select "pixels" to find answer.

 

 

 

Same the other way, put in the 400x150 dimensions, and click Inches to find what you're looking for.

Thank you misterxman, that helped a lot.

english units (inches)

 

 

 

lols, I think that you'll find it's an imperial unit. :)

 

 

 

Yes you can use Paint to do that or you could just use Google. I think it's 75 pixels per inch. Although, using a program to do it is probably easier. :lol:
