PNG export DPI

• Jun 8, 2011 - 16:35

In MS 1.0, what should the DPI be for exporting PNG? Right now PNG is exported at 600 DPI (verified with IrfanView), which results in an image that is 1/4 of the page (when you say to print in IF and say 'original size from DPI') . Therefore it would appear that it really should be 300 DPI to get a normal sized image, but you can't adjust it anywhere. In the trunk, you can change the DPI, starting from the default of 300.

If 600 DPI seems wrong, this should get fixed in the branch, as from what I've read it is fixed in the trunk.

When I export an 8.5x11" page, I get a PNG that is 2550x3300 pixels. That's exactly 300dpi. So yes, the headers appear to have the wrong dpi figure in there, which will throw off the default size in printing. You can, of course, still print it at any size you want; there's still 2550x3300 pixels.

Note the adjustment in the trunkl doesn't just play games with the resolution figure in the header - it actually changes the number of pixels. If you say 72dpi, you'll actually get 72dpi - meaning an 8.5x11" page will yield only 612x792 pixels.
