automatically adjusts the other parameter to keep the ratio the same.  For example, if 

you were to change the width without changing the height, the image would appear 

stretched horizontally.  Maintaining the aspect ratio prevents this from happening.  The 

resolution value directly affects the default print size.  If you divide the width or height 

by the resolution, you’ll get the default print size in inches.  Example: With a width and 
height of 1000 pixels and a resolution of 200 DPI, the default print size will be 5” x 5”.  

Remember though that you can change the print size directly from the print screen.

values will change the overall tone of the colors used in the program.  At their default 

levels they should be fairly consistent.  The Undo level can be increased all the way to 

99.  However, the higher this number, the more resources are required.  Basically, your 

computer will need to remember each step that you take so it can undo it if necessary.  

Keep this value relatively low (the default should be fine), then increase it if you find that 

you need to go undo further than you’re allowed.

blank, except for the text.  The blankness can either be white, or a checkerboard pattern.
