How to Make Paper Mini's

Step 6Resize and adjust resolution

Resize and adjust resolution
Now that you have your hero cropped out the next step is to adjust the size and resolution of the image to produce the best quality printing output.

Corel Photo-Paints Resample function is used here but most photo-editing packages should have something similar.

Adjust the resolution to 300 dpi (dots per inch) and then 'shrink' the height of the image to your chosen scale. The most commonly occuring scales are 25mm and 28mm.

Note: For micro- or gigantic characters you'll have to adjust the height accordingly.

Once you have completed resizing your character save the file on your hard drive and then make a copy of the file for the next step.
