Next, use the View ➤ Zoom ➤ 100% (called the Actual Pixels view mode) menu sequence, “normalize”
the image that you’re looking at, and then undertake the same “centering in transparency” work process as

back to 256 pixels to match the game board square texture map size, as shown in Figure 18-13, so that the
image will fit your texture map perfectly.
