Photo Handling 253
You can choose a different size to which photos should be scaled, or elect for them to
be imported at 96dpi (default screen resolution) so that at 100% zoom they are
displayed at 1:1. Or you can choose to have photos imported at the dpi which is
indicated in the photo file itself. Note that some digital cameras set this dpi value
wrongly and so this third option may not always give you the results you expect.
When importing at 96dpi each pixel of the photo takes one pixel of screen, so you're
seeing the full resolution image when viewing at 100%.
However because most digital photos are very high resolution, this means you may
only see a small part of your photo, so initially MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013
will automatically alter the zoom scale to zoom out so you can see the whole image.
This also means that a typical digital photo will be far, far larger than your page size
(your screen is probably only about 1200 pixels across, and a typical digital photo is 3
or 4 times as wide, sometimes a lot more)
To reduce the size, just drag a corner handle using the
SELECTOR Tool, or enter a new
width in the Selector Tool InfoBar width field.
