This is a question from the severely computer challenged. Yesterday discovered that on my husband's computer the size of the TD drawing box is GIGANTIC! It's 2.5" tall by 2.25" wide! On my laptop the drawing box is
1 & 1/8" tall and 1 & 2/8" wide. Even the thumbnail pics are much smaller on my computer.

So ... is there a way to make the drawing box (and thumbnail pics) as big on my computer as they are on my spouse's computer? I nearly went into shock looking at TD on his computer! It's a whole new world and I want that world! Any ideas???

Wow! Problem already solved! There is a zoom level button (lower right on my computer screen) and that makes the drawing box and thumbnail pictures larger, or smaller. VERY happy about this discovery!

How did you ever manage to draw such great pictures in such a tiny space?! I'm looking at Breakfast At Tiffany's and An Old Door ... I'm amazed at how well you've done.

Oh my! I had such a laugh just now - trying to imagine drawing in such a tiny space! See what happens when Puck the cat jumps on the table when I'm typing in TD! It's all his fault! : )

Login, I should have written that the drawing box on my computer is 2 & 1/8 " tall and 2 & 2/8 " wide! On husbands computer it's - 3.5" tall and 3.25" wide - which IS a big difference. And, still laughing as I type, but sincere apologies for giving wrong impression of my "skills." : )

And - the measurements above might STILL be suspect, meaning that I truly have some sensory, information-processing issues. Am sure you'll notice them as more time goes by. : )

Size certainly does matter, despite arguments to the contrary

I'm currently on a Mac, hate it, I can't get it to zoom except for making one petal in Flowers cover half the screen. Who knew I'd prefer my 13 year old laptop:-)

Doesn't the size of the screen where we work on have to do with the size of our monitor? My monitor is 14 inches and my painting screen is 9,5cm x 8,5 cm. I think that is something like 3 inches and 8 x 3 inches and 3.

I saw Think Draw on my brother's 17-inch monitor and our pics look much bigger. Could this be the reason?
