- OPENING ON WINDOWS
Windows defender blocks any program downloaded from the internet that doesn't have a signing certificate.
To work around this, if you see the “Windows protected your PC” screen, press “More Info”, then select “Run anyway”.
- PRINTING (DPI/PPI)
HEAVYPAINT exports pixels, so you'll have to do a little math for printing, but it's not too bad. Just multiply the
number of inches X pixels per inch (ppi) to get your final resolution.
So, if you want to print 4" X 4" at 300 ppi, then export at 1200 X 1200px
Or, for 8.5" X 11" @ 300 ppi, export at 2550 X 3300px
