1. Create a blank background plate on which you assemble the individual photos to make the composite:

• Under File menu choose New
• Enter the width and the height (choose from the table below depending on % enlargement you wish to use) **
• Enter the resolution: 350 pixels/inch [A]
• Mode: Grayscale [B]
• Contents: White or transparent

For 2 column Mycologia plate final size of 6.75" x 9.25"

% enlargement of original	set original width at	set length at
100% no enlargement	6.75"	9.25"
150%	4.5"	6.12"
200%	3.37"	4.62"
250%	2.7"	3.7"
300%	2.25"	3.06"

** We normally enlarge the final plate somewhat (usually 150%) because the individual video images at 350 dpi resolution tend to be rather small in dimension.
