matthewgang Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hello. I have been having problems with my image resizing on it's own. Example. I made a 3.5 x 2 inch business card. I put ten of the cards on an 8.5 X 11 inch page and saved the image. The next time I opened the image the page had changed to 6.8 X 8.8 inches, and my original card shrunk to 2.8 x 1.6. Why?? The worst part is that when I resize the image it becomes fuzzy. I don't understand why paint does this. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do to stop this from happening? I have wasted a lot of time on many projects due to this problem. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks, Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 How are you resizing them? Please post exact steps, so that we can accurately diagnose the problem. Also, if you could post an image of the cards (both "fuzzy" and not), that would be helpful. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

matthewgang Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I go to canvas size, type in the size that I want. Do my project, save my project, next time I open the project it isn't the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewgang Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I just read my last post and realized it seems kind of rude. Sorry, didn't mean it to be. That is the best that I can describe the problem. It's not a problem of me resizing, it's that paint.net seems to be resizing on its own. Thank you for responding.

david.atwell Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Does the working on the project involve pasting any other images into the canvas? What about the DPI? Do you pay attention to that? And, by the way, I took no offense to your comment. Thank you for clarifying, though. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

matthewgang Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 My girlfriend told me to save the files as JPEG and it seems to work. I don't know why, but the end result is good. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
