Aspect ratio

Does anyone know the aspect/ratio to use in DS for a standard comic book? Would it be the same I've been using for paperback book cover size?

    When I copy/paste a part of your question into Google.
    Google comes up with this:

    Its DPI to Render in Pixels. So at 72 DPI a render size of 144x144 = 2x2 inches. So it depends on DPI and Size in pixels for print.

    It's not for print (as I don't have a printer). Basically I want to do some renders in comic book style. The paperback ratio I was recommended to use in DS is 16:25, would that be similar?

    Why not measure an actual comic?

    The link Tjeb provided has measurements, I'm just not sure how to translate them into the ratio in DS, because I'm not as clever as I think I am.

    17.5cm x 26.7cm is 496 pixels by 757 pixels. Does that help

    or if you prefer a ratio of 0.655 to 1

    I'll try that later and see if it works, and post the result. I just need to sober up a little first (it's getting near Christmas and everyone wants to drink - not that I'm complaining!)

    Oh, and thanks for the replies folks. Much appreciated.

    OH, you need a Standard Web Comic render size, sorry thought you were doing print. I'm working on a Web comic as time allows and this is the Default Page layout from my comic creator..

    Page Render size FULL (thats not with clipper edges for panels) is 816x1086. Here is A old page from a old project. Click for Full Size.

    That looks right to me. Cheers!

    I probably should do full renders and clip off the bits I don't need, which is what I've done in the past. But I could do with some (free) comic creation software for putting the panels together. The ratio stuff will be best helpful for doing a cover that looks like a traditional comic cover.

    Can't help with the free part. I bought all the junk I use. LOL Well not junk but you know, nothing ever as easy as they make it look stuff.

    Now I know the measurements/ratio I can muddle through with powerpoint.

    And yeah, nothing's ever as easy as they say it is!

    Cheers for the info guys.
