Thanks! That makes sense I will try that and see if it helps. Yes I am not a graphic artist I have friends for that usually!

Also how do you set a blank canvas for 300dpi? as the problem is when I move the mouse I can not seem to get a precise stop at the centimeter that I am aiming for.

Thanks, I think that will solve my accuracy problems, as for the printer, I do have things lined up with my printer in mind, however when it saves as the wrong size all that goes out the window. Also I can not seem to copy from one image and past into the other image and have it keep the same size. for example I have a image that is 11,19cm x 12,86 cm that I copy when I paste it come in as 30,80cm x 35,38cm ! a bit of a difference eh? this is a problem!

Hi I have been using paint.net for my business. I am a far cry from a graphic designer and Just do some basic designs and editing. However I am having some serious sizing issues. For one if resize a separate image that I am going to combine on another to a specific size and copy and past it, it pasts as a larger size than the one I need. It happens quite often and it's rather frustrating. It does not keep the size I copied for some unknown reason and will use the un-resized size! Second I create origami designs and I need very precise measurements as I print out the designs with pictures etc on it, so that when I fold it it comes out perfectly where I want it. Here is an example https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9e/fd/6c/9efd6ccd900183ceb6948f462f441d65.jpg To do this I need to have the canvas size be precise and I need to be able to get millimeter accuracy when setting the lines. The only thing I need accurate is the lines, once I get the lines in place I can use the layers to bring in other photos words etc. For some reason I have an issue doing this. For some reason when I set my canvas size for example 21CM x 29.7 and save it it saves as 20.99 and 29.5 for example. Also I can not seem to get the pointer to the exact centimeter to draw the lines where I need them. This makes everything off center when I fold it and does not look good. And again, I will often create a design and try to print multiple copies of it on one paper so I cut and paste but then lose the very precise measurements again. causing issues with the final fold. As I do this as part of my business not just a hobby I would really like to have everything line up as it saves me time on folding, (I can sometimes fix misalignments during folding) and it looks a lot more professional if I can get it precise! Thanks! Isaiah
