I agree with you, I'm old school, I still like to read, to learn, and trying to educate people when most of the people nowadays are quite happy being ignorant héhé. I'm quite happy of that topic anyway, I did get the answer I was looking for, and I hope it will help other. Now, if I'm willing to spend that time to improve that section, is another story, I might postponed it. Thanks for your time.

I will answer to that. Of course, I can keep that section as it is, being happy that the precised measurements are notified in the index and just move onto the thousands of updates that need to be done but when I'm doing something, I'm into precision and extremely verified info and my website is like the "bible" for millions of users all over the world that use it as as a reference. Point, is that at the basis into that specific section while the scans are of HQ, that most of them have a zoom function, they do not reflect what the real cards looks like when it comes to measurements, and that can bring confusion at first look, it is well known that on most website people don't read, but just go to the easy way to simply look at something, that's why I wanted to upgrade that section, to a basically "what you see is what you get". While I'm really not a tech person that doesn't prevent me to be some kind of a perfectionist. If my website was about stamps, I will want the scans to look as much as possible as real stamps, etc...Hope, you understand me better.

So, if I follow you it means that getting a Real Size image of an item, picture, etc...is an impossible task even using the math formula that you provided or resizing step by step, as the different systems parameters will show the image not in the same way (with the precised measurements) from one user to another. Am I correct ?

That's another story, I can hear it, as I don't take care of that part at all, as I don't have the skills or knowledge, my website design is like an "Antiquities", it was done over 15 years ago. A webmaster is supposed to do the job in the future, but a first try was attempted, and the result was such a disaster, that the website was reversed to the old one, that at least was working, and easy to work on for me. For the technical part, I rely on a friend that created a program for me to add all the scans, and we are talking about 15000 of them and the list of "to do things for me" is full booked till eternity héhé

Well, that's what I did when I upgrade the first subsection to Real Size to get the almost perfect measurements: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/291-rarities-vanguard-cards-english-cards-series-1.html Points is that there's 15 subsections in that section and I will need to upgrade to a bunch of different measurements 6.25" X 8.75" (15,8 cm X 22.2 cm) 3.46457" X 4.96063" (8.8 cm X 12.6 cm) 4" x 6" (11 x 15 cm) 7.913386" X 5.669291" (20.1 cm X 14.4 cm) 3.7" x 5.27" (9,5 x 13.4 cm) 5.70866" X 7.99213" (14,5 cm X 20.3 cm) I wonder why I have that bright idea of wanting to upgrade to real size that "Oversized" section, beside the fact that's over 1500 scans to replace, and that taking care of updating and upgrading the whole site is a 24/7...

Hi Ego Thanks for helping. I've just put the image with your measurements, then I grab the real card to put onto my screen to compare and again it doesn't match , the resize scan is still not the precised measurements having appromixately 1.7 extra cm for the width, abou the same same for the height ( my screen is not big enough that I can use a ruler to measure it like the width)

Great tutorial, but I have read it before joining this forum, and couldn't figure, what I do wrong.

Hi Iron This is the Original scan: And this is how the resized one looks like on my website: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/430-rarities-time-spiral-cycle-oversized-promos-english-cards-2006.html

Hi Iron I didn't create the scan that I have, it was mentioned to me that it was a 300 DPI scan, So when the scan is on the resize function I do have: New Size: 3.0 MB Resampling: Best Quality Width: 754 Pixels Height: 1040 Pixels Resolution: 118, 11 Pixel/cm Print Size Width: 6.31 Centimeters Height: 8.81 Centimeters when I use the ruler onto that scan it says that 6 cms something width and 9 centimeters Height. After doing what you told me I do get: New Size: 15,7.MB Resampling: Best Quality Width: 1717 Pixels Height: 2398 Pixels Resolution: 118,11 Pixel/cm Print Size Width: 14.54 Centimeters Height: 20.11 Centimeters when I use the ruler onto that scan it says that 14 cms something width and 20 centimeters Height. Once I save that to PNG and want to upload the image on my website. I do get a Huge image that is not the measurements that I want. I hope what I wrote is clear for you..

Hi Iron Thanks for your reply. Of course, I have done that, but I do get a Huge image which is not at all the 14,54 cm x 20,30 cm of the real size product .

Hi All I have looked almost everywhere for the last days but can't find the answer to my problem, so I don't even know if it's possible with Paint.net. I will try my best to explain it as I'm really not a tech guy. I want to turn an existing scan to a real size scan of an existing pic in very precised measurements in centimeters. The scan is a JPG 745 X 1040 Pixels in 300DPI What I want out of this scan is to get a 5.70866" X 7.99213" (14,5 cm X 20.3 cm) in PNG. I have tried so many things but never succeed so far. Let me know if you need further info. I hope that someone can help. Thanks.
