Hi this is my first day here. I posted this somewhere else so sorry for double posting.

Im using draw x5 graphics software and want to know where to find useful help for properly sizing web frendly graphics. I want to build a banner and an icon for my  new site. Is there a help section for this? or a corel software? Thanks Frank

Frank,

Very simple. For web graphics/images just use pixels for sizing h x w.  It is really that simple. I have been using Draw to create parts for web sites since v6 and it rocks.

So forget the dpi, inches, etc. Size your image by pixels and you are good to go.

Think of the screen as an old lite bright kids toy. If your web site will be 1000pixels wide than a 500 pixel image will fill half the width.
