gerard1938 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, I want to make two metro.jpg's compatible. I.e. when I draw the contours of the 1st they have to fit on the second one. 1) jpg1: distance between ordinates (y) = 2.00 cm 2) jpg2: distance here 3.21 cm, so I resized this nr.2 jpg by 62% and... 3) 1.98cm bingo ! Who cares about 0.2 mm ? 4) But why don't they fit when I copy and paste resized 2 on top of nr. 1 ?

mountnman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 me no know that-- but what i do know is that if you "grab' (left click and hold) the circle marker at any of the corners of your selection and hold shift you can scale the image up to the size you want exactly-- that would be left click-shift and hold them while you move your mouse outward--- you then might have to reposition the insert by left click and hold in the middle of the insert and moving the mouse Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

Sarkut Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 For doing this, change your working units from cm to pixels. This will give you the greatest accuracy. Pixels are the basic reality of raster images. Inches or cm are derived interpretations of the pixel count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Why not import the images in separate layers, reduce the opacity of the top layer, and then resize the target layer until the critical dimensions match? (to keep the proportions the same you would want to resize with the SHIFT key down) Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to keep the proportions the same you would want to resize with the SHIFT key down) Hey, that works fine. Nevertheless I still don't understand anything about these co-ordinates... When I changed the size of picture 2 in that layer2 and saved that as a new drawing one should expect the size of the tram's windowpane should be 2cm now. The same size as the one of picture 1, laying underneath layer 2 from where the resized tram was copied and pasted into 'a new drawing'. None of it. Remeasuring it shows that it has become 3.78cm... Since I want to use Paint.Net on creating cardboard models (on scale) instead of AutoCad, that I can't afford myself, the co-ordinates are quite important to me.
