I'm currently creating icons for 52 cards of a card game, and, using MS Paint and MS Office Picture Manager to crop a larger image which contains all the cards, and, resize the pictures so that each card is stored in a separate file i.e. 01.GIF is Ace of Clubs up to 52.GIF should be King of Spades. I'm using Java 1.6 and Eclipse to code the application.
However, I have noticed that the manual cropping leads to a slight difference in the image size (when reading the image on MS Windows, so for example one image has dimensions of 73 x 98 - presumably pixels), while another image has dimensions of 73 x 97).
Any idea how to ensure that the dimensions are the same?
The images are available in a RAR file at http://bit.ly/dHKEsI.
The cards are Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King of Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades each.
