Re: How big is a Magic Card?
I just go to findmagiccards.com and print them out :tongue: . They are they perfect size and everything.
Anyway, go to gatherer and get the card picture on your screen. Press "prnt scrn" on your keyboard. Then, got to paint and paste it. Now I will delete the stuff that is not the card. Then you can resize it by going to Image and then stretch/skew. Just print a few out until one fits. Go to like 90%. That is what works for me, but it may be different for you.

I will try findmagiccards.com, I was doing it the way you suggested it and it was taking to long, not to mention I am lazy on top of that...Thanks!

Pixels are not measured, they are the term used for viewing images in various programs.

Thanx for clearing that up...:eek:

So, does any one exactly how big a magic card is in Pixels
The correlation between a size in pixels (number of dots) and the actual size (in meters, centimeters, inches, whatever) is
Actual_size = Pixel_size * pixels_per_length_unit
with pixels_per_length_unit being a number expressed in "dpi" (dots per inch) if the length unit is the inch. When expressed in dpi, a usual value of this coefficient is 72 (basic pc monitor/display value), but that's just to give an example.
What you want to know first is the Actual_size of the frame, so that when you print it, well, it has correct actual dimensions. To get it, just take one of your physical cards and a ruler, and measure it.
Then, go find a numerical picture of the frame. This picture will have a certain number of pixels (width and height). Knowing these pixel dimensions, you will then have to define the correct value of the "pixels_per_length_unit" you want to print it with so that the printed result has the correct actual size - which is given by the aforementioned formula.
