    Adjust DPI based on new sizes (asp. ratio) - What does it do?

    This is a new 'Resize/Resample' option introduced in recent versions of Irfanview. I can't find a description of this option in the included help file.

    What does it do? Will enabling it make an enlarged image clearer? What about a shrinked image? What is the default setting of this option in previous versions of Irfanview before this option was included in the current version of Irfanview?

    All that the DPI setting in an image does is determine the size when printed or when placed in a DTP application.

    For example, a 300 x 300 pixel image @ 300 dpi will be 1" x 1" when placed on the page or when printed.

    If you resize it to 600 x 600 pixels @ 300 dpi it will be 2" x 2" on the page.

    However, if you use the adjust DPI option it will be 600 dpi after resizing, so will still be placed at 1" x 1" as before it was resized. If you resize it by 50% the DPI will be adjust to 150 DPI so again, it will still be placed at 1" x 1"
