Menu Options and what they do:

1. Calculate print size in inches by entering pic size in pixels.
2. Calculate pic size in pixels by entering print size in inches.
3. Calculate pic size in pixels for transposing an image.

Option 1. Calculate print size in inches by entering pic size in pixels.
This option tells you how large a print you can make from an existing digital picture.
This option requests the picture's PPI number and the picture size in pixels. It calculates the optimal print size in inches.
PPI is an acronym for Pixels per Inch. This number tells the printer how close the pixels (individual dots) are to each other.
If you're not sure what the PPI is, press Enter without entering a number. The default PPI value of 256 will be used.
Enter the picture width and height in pixels. The program calculates the optimal print size in inches.
The program displays a table of print sizes based the values you entered.
Arrows will point to the Highest Quality Standard Print size and the Good Quality Standard Print size.
The rest of the table can be used as a guide to print sizes in inches and corresponding and picture sizes in pixels.
Edit options are also displayed at the bottom of the Window.

This option requests the picture's PPI number and the picture size in inches. It calculates the required picture size in pixels.
PPI is an acronym for Pixels per Inch. This number tells the printer how close the pixels (individual dots) are to each other.
If you're not sure what the PPI is, press Enter without entering a number. The default PPI value of 256 will be used.

Option 3. Calculate pic size in pixels for transposing an image.
This option is for photo editing enthusiasts.
It's purpose is to calculate how a precision cut of an image should be resized to fit into a new picture.
This option requests the following:

1. Resample picture overall width and height:
   The program requests the overall width and height of the precision cut.
2. Resample picture reference points:
   The program requests two reference points from the precision cut. These two reference points should be either
   width or height measurements. An example would be the distance between the cornea of the eyes of a precision
   cut of a head.
3. Comparison picture reference points:
   The program requests two reference points from the destination picture. These reference points should be compatible
   to those taken from the precision cut. This would be the distance between the cornea of the eyes of the head of the
   person you intend to replace in the for mentioned example.

The program uses the above information to calculate how the precision cut of the head should be resized to replace the head
in the destination picture.

Edit options are available for recalculation.
