We've only gained functionality with the resize by single side. But we haven't lost any functionality this way. They could have handled the additional items without redesigning the whole dialog it has caused a lot of confusion. It's a few more clicks, fully acknowledge that. You'll see the DPI changed but the pixel dimensions did not.
Change these back to your original values. So here's how you do the same thing in X8.Ĭlick "By Print Size" and change the DPI (This is the equivalent to doing the same thing in the old dialog) Then click on By Pixel and you'll see the values changed.
When you change the values in one mode they update the other modes. The first three modes, By Pixels, By Percent, and By PrintSize are all linked. You can mix and match before hitting the OK button. The problem people run into is they think that with the new design you can only use one resize method at a time. Or am I going to have to reinstall X6 or X7 just to be able to do that? That's particularly a pain when I don't know whether the correct dpi should be 200, 250 or 300. It looks like I would have to manually do the calculations. Up through X7, I could resize simply by changing the dpi and it would automatically show the new dimensions.
If the resulting document isn't close to the original size it can severely reduce the credibility of the image as an accurate representation of the original document.Īlso, in a number of cases I have substantially enlarged old yearbook photos by scanning at 1200 dpi and then resizing to 400 dpi without changing the number of pixels. I do a lot of "cleaning up" such as removing bleed-through and facing-page marks. That causes problems when trying to import the image into other programs.Īlso, for "historical authenticity" / preservation purposes it's necessary to have an idea of the original print size. For instance, a 3x5 index card at 300 dpi may show up as 12.5 x 21 inches.
Although the documents normally are actually 200 dpi or 300 dpi, they normally show up in PSP as 72 dpi with ridiculous dimensions.
It has however evolved over time from it's initial offering in January 1989 to the present day where it is a different beast to what was initially developed to include including support for color management and spot colors, and has a basic support for text.I download a lot of document images from Ancestry. There is no publicly available CDR file format specification. They concluded that actually this was innacurate and developed a bunch of tools to allow users to import CDR files into MS Office 2003. In 2007 Microsoft took exception to the CDR format wrongly blaming it for some security vulnerabilities in it's Microsoft Office suite of products.
It is used as the default format from the Corel Draw application which was first developed in 1987 by Michael Bouillon and Pat Beirne who were tasked with developing a vector based illustration program that Corel could package with their desktop publishing solutions. CDR was a file format developed by the Corel Corporation and is used primarily for Vector graphic drawings.
