Adding Bleed to your designs in Dextrous

In this tutorial, you'll learn about bleed! What it is, why it's necessary and how to calculate the exact amount of bleed you need to get pngs at pixel perfect dimensions for different printers.

A bit of a longer one sorry, but I hope it's worth it to understand properly how bleed works.

Bleeeeeeed!
