width or height. If constrain proportions is unchecked, one must set both
width and height.
3- Borders: Allows the operator to set borders around the print. The borders
will be the base color when material is unexposed.
4- Scale: With this function the operator can use the scale % to set the size
of the print.
5- Resolution: The number of pixels displayed per unit of printed length in an
image, usually measured in pixels per inch (ppi). An image with a high
resolution contains more, and therefore smaller, pixels than an image of
the same printed dimensions with a low resolution. The Chromira Printer is
a 300 ppi printer. Thus any file that is not 300 ppi will need to be
resampled up to 300 ppi using an interpolation method.
6- Interpolation: When an image is resampled, Chromira Workstation uses
an interpolation method to assign color values to any new pixels based
on the color values of existing pixels in the image. The more sophisticated
the method, the more quality and detail from the original image is
preserved. The Workstation program allows you to choose from one of
the three following methods of interpolation:
a. Bicubic Interpolation: The slowest, but most precise,
method, resulting in the smoothest tonal gradations.
Bicubic is set as the default interpolation method.
b. Bilinear: This interpolation is a medium-quality method.
c. Nearest Neighbor: The fastest, but least precise, method. This
method can result in jagged effects, which become
apparent
when distorting or scaling an image or performing multiple
manipulations on a selection.
7- Applying ICC Profile: When checked, will apply the ICC Profile. For more
information see the section titled ICC Profile.
8- Constrain Proportions: This function when checked allows the operator to
keep the dimensions of the image without distortion.
