Noob question
I have been collecting NES games over the last 10 years and now I am starting to case and organize them. For some reason, I have 4 or 5 titles that wont fit in the perimeters of PowerPoint. For example Ghost n Goblins. My favorite game of all time and the cover wont fit. I tried paint and the same thing happens. I tried searching the topic and couldn't find it. I apologize if this has been covered. Thanks

Re: Noob question
Just barely does not fit?

Print at scale of 99% or 98%

Very much too big?

Most likely print at 32% scale.

It's not even close. Its weird because I have printed 150 covers and about 10 of them just are way to big to fit. I will try messing with the percentttage.

That's how I've dealt with it the 1 or 2 times it's happened to me. Just fine-tune the scaling relative to a cover you know is right.

As to why it happens? No idea at all.

I don't understand the question. You need to change the size of an image in photoshop?

I was just commenting on the post

some are larger than others.  There have been some files that I have downloaded with a resolution of 72 which makes the file size extremely large... I remember a mortal kombat was larger

 I was saying that you have a forum of photoshop and a download that they could change the size very easliy

Re: Noob question
If it's the 72 dpi issue, then print at 24% and you should be good.
