Image Dimensions?

Zan Thrax · May 18th, 2013, 04:08 PM

What are the dimensions of the gallery images? I'd like to crop some images to fit the aspect ratio of the printed sheet better.

Ok. Hopefully someone knows. I really like the feature; having a portrait on my sheet is one of the things I really like about Hero Lab's output. I'm just hoping to find a way to improve the quality when in prints / saves to pdf.

Hi,

Did you ever receive a response to this? I wish to edit my portraits that I use in Herolab to optimal dimensions and don't want to have to go through trial and error.

I see that HeroLab resized the printed/pdf sheets to accommodate most portrait sizes to the best of its ability, but there must be an optimal size preference that HeroLab is seeking that won't screw up texts, etc.?

Thanks.

I'm not sure myself, but I will see what I can find out.

I am told that HL shrinks the largest dimension to 600 pixels and then reduces the other dimensions proportionally. So, if you want your portrait to look the best it can, make the longest dimension 600 pixels and it won't be altered, something like 600 x 400 for wide and short or 300 x 600 for thin and tall.

Thank you very much Aaron!

Has the portrait logic changed?

I keep getting a portrait that is full height but my width is out
of frame

Okay the info here is wrong.

I put my character on a 600x600 background. Then it worked.
