II. CREATING SMARTSHIELD SECURITY IMAGESSmartShield security images can be created in any applicationprogram which allows you to save or export images in astandard Windows bitmap (.bmp) format. To successfully createa SmartShield security image, simply follow these four simplecriteria:¥ Image must be 300 DPI¥ Image must be pure black and white (not grayscale or 256shades of gray)¥ Image must be no larger than 248 pixels x 248 pixels(about .82Ó x .82Ó or 2cm x 2cm)¥ Image must be saved in a bitmap (.bmp) file formatIf your image is more or less than 300 DPI, if it has color orgrayscale shading in it, if it is too large, or if it is not saved as a.bmp, you will not be allowed to load it into SmartShield. Tohelp you better understand what a typical SmartShield imagelooks like, a sample image called ÒSecure.bmpÓ is provided withthe SmartGuard software.This image was originally created in CorelDraw¨ 7.0 using itsstandard clipart, drawing, and text tools. It was then sizedwithin CorelDraw to the appropriate size and exported as a 300DPI, black and white bitmap (.bmp). In nearly all image designapplications like CorelDraw, images can easily be created andmanipulated to the proper size, DPI, and color. With thisparticular image, notice that multiple images were combined tocreate a more interesting design while still meetingSmartShieldÕs size criteria. In general, try to keep yourSmartShield security images relatively simple since images withbold letters and/or thicker lines will display best when printedonto a card.18 Using SmartShield
