How to export a .bmp true to size
How to export a .bmp true to size
(OP)
I'm trying to export a .bmp file true to size and import into Paint shop Pro. I'm not having any luck. I've tried different zoom modes, I guess not the right one. It's Autocad that I need help with Paint pro will make it true to what ever size it's exported.

If so, here's what I figured out with the help of Photoshop.
When I export out of AutoCAD and I go to the options for FILE and I choose BMP ... and I choose "USER DEFINED" for size ....
52 pixels equals an inch. This is provided you export a square image. ... for example 52 by 52 for "X" & "Y" ...
Or another example ... 1050 by 1050 ...
When I did this ... I opened the file in Photoshop and went to "Image Size" to see the current properties.
Base on a couple of files ... a pattern emerged which allowed me to do some math.
Afterwards I was able to predict the image size in inches before I opened the file Photoshop.
52 was the magic number!
Also per Photoshop .... all the images were set 52 resolution.
Hope that helps.
