Title: resizing maps
Post by: flatiron1 on February 18, 2009, 09:52:21 AM

I am wanting to put some info in my clipboard map folder and am having trouble getting it to the right size (512 x 512). using ms paint. apparantly it has to be this exact size? Is there a easy way to do this rather than just keep fiddling with it untill you get it?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the size should be 1024x1024

Regardless of what the size "should be"...

In Paint, go to the Image menu and select Attributes.  Set the Width and Height to the values you need.  Not sure why or how you need to "fiddle with it" to get the size you desire.

Paint is doing it the hard way IMO.
