Is that just because I scanned at 300dpi and my printer is also
300dpi? Maybe not.
I've been scanning the docs and I'm not getting the -page setting.
# Looks fine in gv
convert 1.jpg 2.jpg PS:- | gv -
# Also looks fine
convert -page 2400x3100 1.jpg 2.jpg PS:- | gv -
# This places tiny image in lower left corner of page
convert -page letter 1.jpg 2.jpg PS:- | gv -
Not sure what "letter" means -- the docs show it as
Letter 612 792
But the docs say those are DPI not points. And indeed, these seem the same:
convert -page letter 1.jpg 2.jpg PS:- | gv -
convert -page 612x792 1.jpg 2.jpg PS:- | gv -
Maybe I do need to try a newer version of ImageMagic that knows that
"letter" is in points?
What I don't get is how to translate to physical sizes when printed.
Say I have an image of unknown size and I want to display it 4" wide
image centered on the page to be printed.
Can I place two images on the *same* postscript page? Or would I need
to first create a new single image of the two images?
