Creating a print.

[A_TEE]

I'm here today to ask because I've a lot of research on the forum and it don't really help me because I am new to modding and I would like to mod.
By the way I'm using gimp.
I'm having trouble creating a 2x2 image.

-first in http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=45202.0 Cheese stated I needed "For 2x2f, you'll need a 512x512 Pixel image. And another 64x64 Pixel image of the same thing."
does that mean I need to make a 64x64 image then past that image onto a 512x512 square?

-And if I finish the print and put it into the file can someone just clarify how to make all the files work to together.  Sorry i'm really noobish at this. I just don't understand how to do this.

no, you make the 512x512 (the print itself) then when you're done save it then scale it down to 64x64 (the image in the menu)

going into more detail of what Seth said, the 512x512 is the print itself and is what will be on the print brick ingame. The 64x64 version is the thumbnail, and is what you will see in the print selection menu. The 512x512 goes inside the print folder, and a folder called "thumbs" goes inside the folder too. Inside the "thumbs" soldier, goes the 64x64 image. both images must have the exact same name.

can the Thumbs folder be called icons as well. Also what format should the files be in .Png?

[A_TEE]

Also in gimp Do I export t the image or save as the image?

Side note. I need to name the first part of the folder "Print_2x2f_(name here)" in order for the print to work.
locking and thanks for the help.
