When editing with IrfanView, How can I tell the actual size?
I am editing a scanned image with IrfanView. The size that I want to achieve is .45 inches tall and 5-3/4 inches long. That is the size of the actual image that I want to resize, not including the background which I will cut off of the printed image.
The image is originally 8.5 x 11.67 when scanned (1275 wide x 1750 high in pixels). The size of the image before scanning is 5-3/4" long and .80 inches tall. When I resize the image how will I know when viewing the image with IrfanView that I have achieved the desired size?
“If Ernest Hemingway was going to go big-game hunting in Africa, Hunter S. Thompson wanted to use a submachine gun to hunt wild boar in Big Sur, Calif. He was dangerous, like handling nitroglycerin, and he liked to keep it that way.”
