Converting Metric units to Pixels

Nov 10th, 2007

hi! does anyone knows how to convert metric units (such as centimeters) to pixels by hand (i mean the normal calculation, not a function from a programming language or something) ? i just want to be accurate and use pixels instead in measurement...=/ i tried searching but it gives me confusing prolan functions...xD

Can you convert inches to pixels?

1 inch = 2.54 cm.

It depends on how many dots per inch you use (DPI) If you know this, you know how many pixels per inch and then just use midimagics tip
