Hello,

I am trying to create a series of art pieces in 1080p. I have sketched what I would like for my final images over in PS, and I would like to bring those sketches into PyxelEdit so I can draw over them with pixel art. 

The problem I am having is that I can't seem to figure out after importing the image, how to adjust the pixel size in PE. Each time I try the image either gets cropped, the pixels are too high resolution...or something. I would like to know how to set the PE settings so I can experiment with different pixel sizes - Space Quest vs. Strike Commander - if you get my meaning.

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

I think the way to achieve what you want would be to scale the image down to the resolution you want before copying it into PE. There is no way to have a reference image in a different resolution from the document, unfortunately.
