Purchased a Oliver 1013 and it came with a cd with Grey scale pictures. their are dimension on the pictures, but I can't figure out what units they are in. are the in mm, pixels, Pica. example one picture dimension are 1641 x 1641 every thing I converted it to did not jive. In I picture software when I drag it in and put it to inches it comes out to 20.5 and change it to mm it converts to 520.7. Need some help on this
Thanks

In I picture software when I drag it in and put it to inches it comes out to 20.5 and change it to mm it converts to 520.7. Need some help on this Thanks The images measurements are listed as pixels, most all photos are measured this way rather than inches or mm. Converting in I-Picture the above measurements of 20.5 " to mm do equate to the mm measure. Obviously 20+ inches is too large for the 1013, so simply put in the size You want the piece to be in inches or mm in the width box and since 1641 px x 1641 px is a square then both width and height boxes will be the same by clicking on the height box. **** The software lets You dimension the size of the piece. Another thing to remember is that higher resolution images work better in the I-Picture program ( I consider 1641 pixels to be at the lower end of the resolution scale unless your carving is going to be 6" x 6" or smaller ) The higher the amount of pixel size of a picture, the higher the resolution. If you enlarge your view of an image to 3x that is about what I-Picture sees as a way to program the toolpath and create the gee code. So when you preview a picture in any photo program it is best to examine it at a 3x view to see how it looks, if you see jagged edges on objects in the image or the individual square pixels then I-Picture will see it the same way and you would get a piece that has jagged or not smooth edges. In the end it is better to have I-Picture scale an image down in size rather than scale it up.
