------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 16 17:44:13 +0000 2008 ------- Users unfortunately do not know much of preprint and printing. And if they know something, they most likely misunderstand it. Therefore, while it is sometimes useful to allow users finely control all parameters, I suggest a more pragmatic approach to let users (force them ;-) ) use the desirable parameters. This will ultimately enhance their productivity and create higher quality products (in the end making the end users more happy). In general, when I (or a user) create a work, I will have to decide beforehand, what is the purpose of this work: A.) Display it on screen B.) Print it After deciding this, one can establish the target LPI (or PPI): 72 PPI vs 75-150-200 LPI (for pure BW lineart, one could indeed choose 600 LPI). Then I decide the dimension of the work (in cm, or in inch, or any valid measure). Having both PPI and dimensions, will automatically result in the pixels needed in the raster image. I wouldn't go the other way round: deciding on PPI and/or image size based on pixels. Because Draw is a vector-graphics processing program, pixels don't make much sense either. So, while it is useful to display the dimension of the resulting raster image in MB, and sometimes also the size in pixels, I won't bother much in putting great emphasis in finely controlling these values. The user should be educated in the proper way of creating high quality work. [Pixels are really useful only when displaying on screen, so this is probably another useful option to choose from at the beginning: onscreen vs printed work. When onscreen is selected, then instead of size or PPI use resolution in pixels.] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
