Wacom Tablett - copy map from paper (Linux/Ubuntu)

hi,

i have a small wacom tablet and i want to copy a (fantasy) map from paper. The printed map has nearly the same size, like the wacom has.

The problem, if i follow the lines on the printed map, i get out the gimp document. Actually the screen resolution is the same, like the wacom field.
My document has 1000 mm x 1000 mm. Is there a way to solve this problem?

You have a 1m x 1m Wacom tablet? And you consider that small? I'm sure that's not what you meant...

Why not scan it in? If you don't really want to use the image itself, you can create layer on top of it and trace on that.

If you really need to trace it on the wacom, you might want to reduce it on a copier.

sorry, that i wasn't clearly enough. I meant the gimp file size "File -> new -> size"

i have it all ready as bitmap, but the resolution is too slow and i can better trace, if the hand and eye have the same target :-)

the printed graphic has the same size, like the wacom, round about 13cm x 9.5cm and that is the problem. the size from the wacom is proportional to the screen resolution. To max the Gimp window is not enough.

that is the graphic :-)

OK, that makes more sense. Figured it was something like that. ;)

Scale the bitmap to the size you want and either create a layer on top and trace the original onto it. If you want to use the original but have it scaled and look nice (not so bitmapped), try playing with the smudge tool. If you have a Wacom tablet, I suggest you learn how to use it with your screen; it's not that hard (and this would be good practice ;) ).
