Pixel Scaling

[AppleLord]

Is there a specific page that teaches you how to pixel scale manga? How do I know how many pixels = centimeters or meters? If an object is 5 feet tall and 25 pixels? Is 5 pixels 5 feet each? Lmao i'm lost. Help.

As far as I know, you pixel scale off of an object in the image with a known height, and the pixels are how you compare the rest.

For example, one character in the image has an official height of 1.5 meters and is 100 pixels tall. The boulder he's cutting is 200 pixels. Ergo, the Boulder is 3 meters tall.

Is just a simple rule of three: if 25 px = 5 feet, then 5/25 = 0.2 feet/px, then you find the object's size by tracing a line around it; also, we use meters, not feet, so at the end it would be needed to be converted.

Thank you very much guys. One more question. What app do you use to draw a line on a scan?

 

[The_Everlasting]

Paint.net.

 

[AppleLord]

Thanks. One last question. What if the numbers are 1.71 meters? Do we convert them to 2.0? And if the pixels are 144.80? Do we convert them to 145 pixels?

I don't think Paint.net has decimal pixels.

I'm using a ruler, because I can't download paint.Net on my phone.

How big is this sword in meters!?


First Image: Uryu's Height.


Second Image: 1.71 m or 171 cm


Third Image: Sword length in pixels.

171/356= 0.48033707865 x 141 = 67.7275280897

67 cm = 0.67 m

Is this correct!? Help me please. I'm trying to understand how pixel scaling works.

171/356= 0.48033707865 x 141 = 67.7275280897

67 cm = 0.67 m

Is this correct!? Help me please. I'm trying to understand how pixel scaling works.

Sorry for the very long answer lol, no need to change it or convert into integer number. So you get 0.677275280897 m. Done, easy
