Thanks for the tip Corey but I still cant get this thing to display correctly. I guess it would help to know what the original design size was.
All of the built-in layouts have an optimal size defined. In fact, if you press the "Built-in" button that lists all of the included layouts, they display their optimal resolution right under their name. When you press the "Preferences" button on the Layout tab, there's an option in the "Layout Scaling" section to "Use optimal resolution setting of the current layout". That basically means to use the defined optimal resolution of any layout you choose *first*, then use the optimal resolution you've set in the preferences if the layout hasn't defined one.
Also, what should the settings resolution be as compared to the area in preferences for resolution?
I'm not sure I follow this one.
Also, how could I take the right resolution .png file and use that in the layout settings. It looks like the only load option is for the entire tlo file.
Any you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This one really confuses me. But, the great thing about including images in your layout is that they can be automatically scaled (independently of layout scaling) to whatever size you want them. So it doesn't matter what resolution your .png file really is. If it's a 1024x768 image, but you want it to be 300x200, that can be done easily by just specifying the dimensions when you reference the image. What's even better is that, to keep the image the right proportions, you can specify just the width or the height (but not both), and the image will be scaled appropriately. So, let's say you want to include an image that is 1200x800 pixels, but you want to fit it into a horizontal space of only 400 pixels. You would insert an HTML image tag like this:
<img src="path to the image file" width=400>This would scale the image proportionally to 400 pixels wide and 267 pixels tall.
