Check 'Fix Aspect Ratio' to maintain canvas proportions
When changing the resolution of your canvas in MediBang Paint on a Mac, you can check "Fix Aspect Ratio" to maintain the canvas's proportions. This feature ensures that the ratio of the canvas's width to its height remains constant as you adjust its size. To do this, go to the Canvas Size menu by selecting "Edit" and then "Canvas Size" from the menu bar.
In the "Canvas Size" window, you will see options to modify the width and height of your canvas. If you want to maintain the aspect ratio, make sure that the "Fix Aspect Ratio" or Constrain Proportions box is checked. This way, when you change one dimension (width or height), the other dimension will automatically adjust to preserve the ratio.
For example, if you want to enlarge your canvas by 200%, you can enter this value in the "Canvas Size" window, and the width and height will both scale up proportionally. This function is useful if you want to increase or decrease the size of your canvas while maintaining its original shape.
Additionally, when the "Fix Aspect Ratio" option is selected, you can choose a specific reference point on the original image to determine how the canvas size changes. For instance, selecting "Bottom Center" and reducing the height will remove pixels from the top of the canvas, keeping the bottom center point fixed. This allows for precise adjustments while ensuring the canvas proportions remain intact.

Change DPI by checking 'Fix Print Size'
To change the resolution in Medibang Paint on a Mac, you can adjust the DPI (dots per inch) by checking the "Fix Print Size" option. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open your canvas in Medibang Paint.
- Go to the Edit menu and select "Image Resolution" or Canvas Settings. This will open a dialogue box or window.
- In the dialogue box or window, you will see options to adjust the image size or canvas size, respectively.
- To change the DPI, look for the "Fix Print Size" option. Checking this box will ensure that when you change the DPI, the pixel value (px) will change while the centimetre or inch value remains the same. If you leave the box unchecked, the pixel value will remain unchanged, but the centimetre or inch value will change.
- Make sure the Fix Aspect Ratio option is also checked. This will maintain the original proportions of your image as you adjust the DPI. If it's unchecked, your image may become warped or stretched when you change the DPI.
- Now, you can adjust the DPI of your canvas. Common DPI values include 72 DPI for web images, 350 DPI for colour print work, and 600 DPI for black-and-white print work.
- Enter your desired DPI values for width and height in pixels.
- Your canvas will now have a different DPI while maintaining the original aspect ratio.
Remember that changing the DPI affects the print quality of your artwork. A higher DPI results in higher print quality, while a lower DPI may produce lower-quality prints.

Zoom in and out with the scroll wheel
To zoom in and out with the scroll wheel in MediBang Paint on a Mac, you can try the following methods:
Using System Settings
Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom. Then, turn on "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". After that, click on "Modifier key for scroll gesture" and select your preferred modifier key (Control, Option, or Command) to hold while scrolling to zoom.
Using Adobe Acrobat
If you are using Adobe Acrobat, go to preferences and under the "General" tab, select "Make hand tool use mouse-wheel zooming". Click OK. This will enable you to zoom in and out on your PDF using just the scroll wheel without needing to hold any additional keys. However, please note that this will disable the ability to scroll the PDF using the mouse wheel.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
You can also use keyboard shortcuts in combination with the scroll wheel to zoom. Hold the Ctrl key and push or pull the scroll wheel up or down to zoom. Alternatively, hold the Cmd key and press the + key to zoom in or the \- key to zoom out. Cmd-0 will return you to the normal screen view.
Using Logitech Options
If you have a Logitech mouse, you can use the Logi Options+ app to set zoom gestures or customize your own. Download the app from the Logitech website, and follow the instructions to set up zoom with your scroll wheel.
Using Mac Mouse Fix
The latest version of Mac Mouse Fix allows you to zoom in and out by scrolling while holding a mouse button. This app is available for non-Logitech mice as well and can be useful if you prefer to zoom with one hand.
While these methods provide alternatives to zooming with the scroll wheel, it is worth noting that the default zoom functionality in macOS may not always work as expected, and additional steps or workarounds may be necessary.
