| SUBJECT | Re: [Hangout - NYLXS] [Gimp-user] setting DPI for Gimp
|
By default, Gimp uses "dot-for-dot" displays (one pixels of image on one
pixel of screen). So the image is displayed with the screen resolution.
You can toggle this ("View>Dot for dot"), in which case Gimp will
display the image as indicated by the image's print resolution (see
"Image>Print size"). This assume that the screen resolution is set
correctly (see "Edit>Preferences>Interface>Display>Monitor resolution").
