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
-
Calculate tile size = 128 * anti-alias factor.
Tile size is equal to the minimum Main window size in x, y, pixels.
-
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
-
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.
