Image and font sizes look odd


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I have come across a strange one that I am hoping you can advise me on.

 

I have two documents, one in DrawPlus X8 and one in AD, which are both the same size at 1080 x 1080 pix.  When I insert a png image of 399 x 86 pix in DPX8 it looks fine in relation to the document size. However, when I place the same image in AD it is disproportionate to the document at a size of 1246.9 x 268.8 pix.

 

Similarly, font sizes are also disproportionate in AD. I insert a heading using Basic Sans Heavy SF at 48pt and it looks fine in relation to the document in DPX8 at a size of 606.55 x 76.64 pix, but in AD with the same font at 48pt the size becomes 1896.3 x 182 pix.

 

I have attached a couple of screenshots, but I am sure I am just being completely dense and there is a simple fix I am not seeing!

 

Kind regards

Neil

I think the "simple fix" you need is in the Document Setup dialog. It sounds as though you're using a DPI value of 300, so the pixel dimensions are more than three times as big as they are with the 96 DPI setting used by DrawPlus.

You're welcome, Neil. It's very easy to be fooled by these things, especially when you're working with different default values.
