  1. Calculate the number of horizontal and vertical tiles required based on scaled width and scaled height.

  • T(x) = Scaled width / 128

  • T(y) = Scaled height / 128

  1. Calculate tile size = 128 * anti-alias factor.

    Tile size is equal to the minimum Main window size in x, y, pixels.

  2. Calculate the total number of horizontal and vertical tiles which can be blocked per window update.

  • B(x) = Main window width / tile size

  • B(y) = Main window height / tile size

  1. Calculate the total number of updates required per snapshot.

  • U(x) = Number of horizontal blocks = Maximum (1, Greatest Integer (T(x) / B(x))

  • U(y) = Number of vertical blocks = Maximum (1, Greatest Integer (T(y) / B(y))

  • U = Total updates = U(x) * U(y)

  • Be sure that you have sufficient hard disk space for using high-resolution printing. The general rule of thumb for calculating print file size is:

    Bytes = Image Pixel Height * Anti-Alias Setting * Image Pixel Width * Anti-Alias Setting * 4 Bytes Per Pixel (BMPA)

  • If using background image, multiple again by 2.

  • Generating a high resolution snapshot with an anti-alias setting of 4 and background images enabled requires a large amount of contiguous memory. Smart Review requires enough main memory (even after utilizing virtual memory or swap space) for this operation to succeed.

  • If Smart Review cannot acquire enough contiguous memory, it displays a message box providing you with an option to use a less memory-intensive technique. If you click Yes, Smart Review acquires the biggest contiguous memory that the system has available, renders the image, and performs the anti-aliasing using this technique. It then generates the output. The drawbacks to the less memory-intensive method are that it is calculation intensive, provides less anti-alias effect, and you can experience a loss of details for small images.
