Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

hi there all,
very happy mirage user without a compelling reason to upgrade just yet, but i have a question.

I am doing a series of drawings for a book for a friend, and i have been using so far Alias Sketchbook Pro and ArtRage, but much prefer many elements of Mirage such as paper textures gradient fills etc.

However these will eventually be for print for A-4 size paper, and Artrage supports 300 dpi or 220 dpi.

I would prefer to draw in Mirage but am uncertain what the native resolution is... does anyone know if it is sufficient for print?

thanks

no "native" resolution problem with Mirage/TVPaint,
as you can start (create a new project) at any size you want (pixel unit),
f.i., for a A4 printable image at 220 dpi, you project's size should be 2572x1819 (in pixels),
the same full page at 300 dpi, -> project's size = 3508x2480,
it's a simple measure/convertion matter, TVPaint "thinks" only in pixels,
so you have firstly to plan at what size you have to work, in regard of the final use of your art.
to manage dpi / print size, this online dpi/pixels converter tool could help you.

hey that is great, thanks for the help! TVP (mirage) will be my weapon of choice then.
