ok i hear what your saying. but how do i align the image with the printers resolution?

if the printer is going to print the image at the resolution set by the print driver then i should be able to give my image the right height and width to size it properly. this assuming you know the printer you are using and i do in this case.

for instance. if the canvas for the image is 8 x 10.5 so if the printer is set to 300 dpi then i would think that i could set my img height to 3150px and width to 2400px and the aspect ratio would match up and id get what i want. what i get is a huge poster size image. ok, well try screen resolution. so i use 576 x 756 and i get a tiny image.

i can sit and sort it out by using print preview and playing with the numbers till it fits. i would just like it to make sense to me. The magic number for those who care...

width: 1135px;
height: 1370px;

this on a printer set to 600dpi works a charm.
