Designing a Midi Pedal board Part 4: Scale design template printing



I am using Photoshop for photo editing work.  Mostly whatever photo editor that use in printing Scale prints should have Imperial or Metric rulers and grid formats with cross conversions from Pixels to Imperial or Metric units.  This should also include easy to use selection tools like a 'magic wand' that smartly allows you to easily differentiate and select your design template relative a given background which is assumed neither alpha transparent.  Your photo processing software should have decent re scale interpolation (bi cubic or bi linear...) that allows you to proportionally re scale your image as necessary to fit desired component real world unit lengths.

You'll want to make sure your printer's driver is loaded and that you hadn't, for instance, used something like Window's native drivers (as I initially had) which may restrict selection of media type...for instance, with the native Window's driver for the Epson printer that I were working with, I were unable to select Legal size paper or alternate selection ranges of media that weren't customarily of the A4 or similar type document.  Usually most inkjet printers out on market should provide online support where you can download a driver for your Windows or Mac operating system.
