<p>When Tux Paint loads an image that's not the same size as its drawing
canvas, it scales (and sometimes smears the edges of) the image so that
it fits within the canvas.</p>
<p>To avoid having the image stretched or smeared, you can resize it
to Tux&nbsp;Paint's canvas size. This size depends on the size of
the Tux&nbsp;Paint window, or resolution at which Tux&nbsp;Paint is
run, if in fullscreen. (<b>Note:</b> The default resolution is 800x600.)

<h3>Calculating Image Dimensions</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>The width of Tux&nbsp;Paint's canvas is simply the width of the
window (e.g., 640, 800 or 1024 pixels), minus 192.</p>
<p>Calculating the height of Tux&nbsp;Paint's canvas requires multiple
steps:
<ol>
<li>Take the height of the window (e.g, 480, 600 or 768 pixels) and
subtract 144
<li>Take the result of Step&nbsp;1 and divide it by 48
<li>Take the result of Step&nbsp;2 and round it down (e.g., 9.5 becomes
simply 9)
<li>Take the result of Step&nbsp;3 and multiply it by 48
<li>Finally, take the result of Step&nbsp;4 and add 40
</ol></p>
<p><b>Example:</b> Tux&nbsp;Paint running at fullscreen on a 1440x900
display.
<ul>
<li>The canvas width is simply 1440&nbsp;-&nbsp;192, or 1248.
<li>The canvas height is calculated as:
<ol>
<li>900&nbsp;-&nbsp;144, or 756
<li>756&nbsp;/&nbsp;48, or 15.75
<li>15.75 rounded down, or 15
<li>15&nbsp;*&nbsp;48, or 720
<li>720&nbsp;+&nbsp;40, or 760
</ol>
</ul>
So the canvas within a 1440x900 Tux&nbsp;Paint window is 1248x760.</p>
