Hi,

I am trying to create a 720x480 pixel image in Krita. It should contain a 300x150 pixel jpeg image, some centered text, and maybe a couple other details. Krita and I do not understand each other.

Steps so far:
* create a custom document, 720x480 px, resolution 100
* select image shape tool, click on canvas, open the 300x150 px image
- Why does it look the wrong size? The geometry dock says it is 225x113, but it appears to have been enlarged. Selecting 300x150 in the geometry dock definitely shows artifacts.
- Why do the rulers show my canvas is ~520x350?
* select text tool, click on canvas
* select geometry dock, specify 702 px wide
- Why does the text extend outside the canvas? Maybe the rulers are telling the truth?

Help? I'm using Krita 2.1.2 from koffice.

Thanks,
Daniel

There is a bug, we show the size in pts not pixels. Feel free to report it.

I suppose pt vs. pixel issue here too.

Maybe try to update, Krita 2.2 is up-to-date release.
But I don't think those bugs are fixed in 2.2, but it is always better to be much more up-to-date with Krita

There is a problem with shape layers having a different internal resolution than the other layers.

Until it is fixed, you can calculate the correct values this way:
newWidth = width/(resolution/72)

So in your case that would be 720/(100/72) = 518 for the text.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the info. I created a new image with resolution=72. Now 1px=1pt, and everything looks good.
