Sorry if I got the wrong forum to post this in, but it seemed like the best fit for my purposes. Anywho, I was using Inkscape to make a coloring page for CCSF because that's about all I can contribute at this time. I'm having an issue with exporting: Each time I do, the lines come out pixelated. I tried making the image larger with the idea of just resizing it using a site I've used before to resize things. The site doesn't like resizing things now. I'm quite stuck now. If anyone has any ideas as to what I could do to make the image come out better, please tell me. I'd like to send the coloring page in before CCSF starts. |

This is the right place to ask - I'm glad to hear you're working on something for CCSF. Just a few questions to work out what's going on: What file format have you been working in? Is it a vector, or a raster? What are you trying to export it as? What's the DPI? Which OS are you running? I think that the problem may be related to this question. My TCR Norns |

Glad I got the right section of the forum. Inkscape is uses vector. I've been trying to turn it into a rastor type of file. I figured more people would be able to use a rastor type of picture instead of a vector one. I'm not sure what DPI stands for, or where exactly to look for that information. And I use Windows 7. |

DPI stands for dots per inch, and is a way of measuring pixel density or resolution. The usual default for printing is 300 dpi. There are a few Inkscape-specific tips here, including from as recently as August. My TCR Norns |

One of the suggestions on the topic you linked suggested changing the DPI to 300, which seemed easy enough, so that's what I did. The image is now 2352 pixels by 2966 pixels. Is that too big? I was trying to keep it a decent size so people didn't have to resize it themselves or anything if they wanted to print it. |

Can you do a print preview and see if it comes out on one page or more? My TCR Norns |

Oh right! Didn't think of that. It looks like it might be stretched a little in the middle, but it's not too bad, and it fits on one page. The Image looks giant in Microsoft Paint, so I hope folks don't get too frustrated with that. Thank you Malkin for the help. |
