Setting Properties to 300dpi

[NikWatt]

In the new one, since I just downloaded it, expecting the interface I'd seen elsewhere, I can't seem to set the properties to 300dpi. Indeed, I can't seem to set the dpi ANYWHERE.

Help, please.

Set Menu->Image->Information->Resolution
Press Change
Save the image

Both ways of setting the dpi seem to do the same. On the contrary to what one may expect the setting in "Resize" does not trigger resampling.

How about a global setting - or at least something so that the default in "Resize/Resample" is 300, not 72??

Hi,

72dpi is the common setting for displays. 300dpi for older printers, most of the newer are able to user 600dpi.

And not every file format is capable to save the dpi into the image file.

For those who use IrfanView just to view and edit 72dpi ist a good value.

But it might be possible to have a custom default setting.

Regards, Nils.

In fact most consumer printers can't even approach 150 dpi on color or grayscale graphics. Only elements consisting entirely of Black will be output at the max resolution.

Hi,

that may be right. But the algorithms are calculationg with the given resolution...
