Fit Canvas to Layers
The Fit Canvas to Layers command adapts the canvas size (that is, the drawing area) to the size of the largest layer in the image,
in both width and height.

Activating the command
• You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Fit Canvas to Layers.

Print Size
You can use the Print Size dialog to change the dimensions of a printed image and its resolution. This command does not change
the number of pixels in the image and it does not resample the image. (If you want to change the size of an image by resampling
it, use the

The output resolution determines the number of pixels used per unit length for the printed image. Do not confuse the output
resolution with the printer resolution, which is expressed in dpi (dots per inch); several dots are used to print a pixel.
resolution with the printer resolution, which is expressed in dpi (dots per inch); several dots are used to print a pixel.
When the dialog is displayed, the resolution shown in the boxes is the resolution of the original image. If you increase the output
resolution, the printed page will be smaller, since more pixels are used per unit of length. Conversely, and for the same reason,
resizing the image modifies the resolution.

resizing the image modifies the resolution.
Increasing the resolution results in increasing the sharpness of the printed page. This is quite different from simply reducing the
image size by scaling it, since no pixels (and no image information) are removed.

Width; Height You can set the printing Width and Height by using the text boxes. You can also choose the units for these values
from the dropdown list.
As soon as you change the Width or the Height, the X and/or Y resolution values automatically change accordingly. If
the two resolution values remain linked, the relationship of the width to the height of the image is also automatically
maintained. If you would like to set these values independently of each other, simply click on the chain symbol to break
the link.

X resolution; Y resolution You can set the resolution used to calculate the printed width and height from the physical size of
the image, that is, the number of pixels in it.
Use the text boxes to change these resolution values. They can be linked to keep their relationship constant. The closed
chain symbol between the two boxes indicates that the values are linked together. If you break the link by clicking on the
chain symbol, you will be able to set the values independently of each other.
