I’m sure this is a stupid question to those of you that know the answer but I don’t. I’m working on a CD cover for someone. It’s sort of the first time I’m doing something that needs to be a certain size. In order to judge the scale of things within the image, I resized the print size to the measurements of a CD cover which is was like 4 3/4 inches I believe. Then when this resized image was on the screen, I actually measured it and it was almost an inch larger than the print/document size that I had resized it to.
Why wouldn’t the image on the screen measure out to be the same size that I make the print/document size?
Also, please tell me how to make these two things correlate to each other so that as far as scale is concerned, I’ll know exactly what I’ll be getting. For instance I could have some type on the image, think that it will be large enough to read when actually the final product may be to small to read.
Thanks for any time you take in trying to help me out.
