Greetings to the Group,

?

I just purchased TactileView and joined this group.

?

My name is Tom Babinszki, I am a completely blind user, working with sighted graphics designers.

?

I would like to join the beta group and provide feedback.

?

Also, I would like to start with a question, I am not sure if it is a bug, or I am not using the software properly.

?

The situation is that my designers are handing me pictures optimized for braille production. Ideally I would only have to load it into TactileView and print.

?

The problem is that when they are giving me a square of 9x9 inches, or 23x23 centimeters, the image loads in a completely different size. I had ones which were 2x2 cm, there was one which was 16x16, I even had a 68x68. These come from different people using different image editing software. The resolution is from about72 to 300 DPI, we tried different DPIs.

?

I would like to make sure that I don't have to resize or touch up in TactileView, because I am not able to verify it. When I tried resizing to 23 centimeters, the printout was dotty and spotty, so we have to play with numbers until we get it just right, so for example what shows as 4.3x4.3 inches for the designer comes in as 22x22 centimeters for TactileView which prints out just fine.

?

I was wondering what am I doing wrong. What can I tell the designers to use as image parameters so that I can load exactly the size they created no matter what image editing tool they use?

?

If it is not an appropriate question for the beta list, can you please refer me to where I can ask this question?

?

Thank you for your help:

?

Hi Tom,

Are you first able to share the two documents as an example?

1. The original file that came from the designers.

And

2. The BPX file saved in TactileView.

This would give me a good idea as to knowing what is happening.?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your quick response.

What I’m attaching is a drawing that mostly fills a braille page, this is the size I was looking for, but the image size isshowing as 32 centimeters wide.

We got to this through many iterations, starting from much smaller.

?

Thank you!
