It is not quite exactly the same pixel size as the first, but darn close. I find that to be the case sometimes. In which case I move the background image slightly depending on where exactly on the image I am drawing/tracing.
I am double-clicking on the background image. Is that the right place? Yes, you need to double right-click on a non-blank pixel that is part of that particular image (xvi or other bitmap type). It often takes me several attempts. When you have it, the cursor changes from a white cross (single right-click for panning) to a white four headed arrow.
I have tried to screen shot it, but Windows 11 has broken the delay on the snipping tool in the last few days/weeks it seems.

It is not quite exactly the same pixel size as the first, but darn close. As predicted, the background does not line up with the objects I have already drawn. I tried your method - double-right-click and then drag. Does not work. Dragging moves both the background image and the drawn objects. Same for double-left-click and then drag. I am double-clicking on the background image. Is that the right place? It looks like I could get it aligned by adjusting the parameters on "Move To". It would take some fiddling. =============== Bill Gee On 4/5/26 23:33, bruce@tomo.co.nz wrote:
I think the reason is that the original background and the new background were scanned at different resolutions. I did not scan them. The old background image is 2550x3300 pixels and the new is 908x1200 pixels.
What do you suggest? ... Rescan the original with the same settings originally used (preferred), else use a tool to resize the image, as suggested by others (likely to not be perfect).
The new scan might still not line up. Is there a way to shift the background? It likely will not. Double right-click and drag allows you to move the background image.
