Image Sizing on Screen

[stampman]

Hi,

Long story short several years ago I paid for a stamp creating webapp. The developer did a decent job I guess? Using ImageMagick he updated it as I'd expect it to have been. However, he ran away before he could complete the final step to make it functional. Since the rubber stamps are printed using 1000 DPI on the laser printer the image size is too large for the screen for the user to make the stamp in the first place.

So my question is: Is there a way to have a 1000+ pixel fit/resize to the box(page) within the creating section while keeping it's quality.

As you can see the size is too big for the frame and goes off page.



Also for some reason the text is showing as a broken image? Not sure what that's about

Any help would be appropriated. Thanks!

Depends upon what you consider reasonable quality. There are many filters that can be used with -resize or -distort resize for minimizing images and keep artifacts to a minimum. See

The rubber stamps are 1000 dots per inch, but how many inches? Computer screens are about 100 dots per inch, so every inch of the stamps will take about ten inches on the screen, if viewed dot-for-dot. Of course, the image can be reduced in size for editing, but any fine detail will not be visible.

This is a standard problem when editing large images: we can either see the entire image without fine detail, or all the detail in just a portion of the image.
