The screen dimensions (72dpi) for an analog cassette
cover are
283x254 pixels (without fold-down setlist area)
3.931 x 3.528 in.
283x419 (with fold-down setlist area)
3.931 x 5.82 in.
The screen dimensions (72dpi) for a DAT cassette
cover are
205x216 pixels
2.847 x 3 in.
So, what does this have
to do with the price of tea in China?
Well, if you need a DAT cover,
all you have to do is open the analog cover in any graphics or paint
program and choose the 'resize' option and type in the numbers above
for the new size. That's all!
The full-size version of each
cover has 72dpi, since your screen can only display 72dpi. BUT,
most printers will print at 300dpi which means that your 72dpi image
would come out too small!
You can fix this in any image editing program on a Mac or PC by
choosing the "image size or resolution" option from your
image editor and changing the image from 72dpi to 300dpi. Do not
be alarmed if after you make this change the covers LOOK huge on
your screen as they will print out at the correct size. If you need
a program to do this, you may find some at shareware.com or download.com or at keyword "software" on AOL. If you were to download
300dpi covers, it would take forever. Sorry for the extra step you
will need to take to get it right, but I think it is well worth
it.
