Traced image larger than original image

[Tedology]

Hello,

I've stamped an image of a flower (with ink) and scanned it into my computer.

The flower is about two inches in diameter

However, after tracing it with SCAL 4, it comes onto my mat as about six inches.

Just wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong to make it so large?

Thanks for any help!
Ted

It is probably scanning at a higher dpi. The software is used to cut files at 72dpi. If you are scanning at 300 dpi it will bring it in larger. Try changing your scan to 72 dpi and see if that helps.

Thanks for helping, mitsim!

I did change it and it seemed to help.

I appreciate your help!
