ext, select File>New. When the New Image window appears,
make the width and height of the bitmap 120 x24 pixels.
Each graphic in the flick for the Alpha® 7120C sign must be this
size.
NOTE: Width and Height define the size of the bitmap in
pixels—120 pixels wide x 24 pixels high. These numbers
correspond to the 7120C’s columns and rows—120
columns wide x 24 rows tall.

Most image editing
programs create images
similar to Paint Shop Pro.
However, if you are not
using Paint Shop Pro,
consider using software
that has a zoom feature so
you can increase the size
of the bitmap for ease of
editing.
H I N T
Because a maximum of 8
colors can be used on
signs, select 16 colors
instead of 256 in your
image editing program.
We’re using 120 x 24 for
width and height because
this is the total display area
of an Alpha® 7120C sign.
