Re: A3 drawing and airbrushing printing zoomage help
[quote:2m0809tg]but everything got smaller and therefore lost detail. [/quote:2m0809tg] That is not true. The thing you must understand is that Zooming in and out on the Computer Screen does not - in any way - alter the data of the image; it simply changes the size of that image ON SCREEN (and only on screen). It doesn't matter whether you apply a gradient (or shading) at 100% zoom, or 200% or 1% zoom, the same gradient is being apply and altering the data of the image in the same way. If you want to figure out exactly how large your printed image will be you need to do some math. Take the DPI (I think you said it was 300) and divide it by the pixel dimensions of the image. Example: If you create an image that 900 X 900 pixels in size and the DPI is set to 300 then the printed image will be 3 X 3 inches (900/300 =3) In short, the detail in your image that you see at 100% zoom will be printed - guaranteed. If you think you are getting poor print quality it may be because of your printer / printer settings, but it is not because of Photoshop. I hope that clears some stuff up, Good Luck!
