I'm using NSBitMapImageRep's -representationUsingType:properties: method to convert data to JPEG, TIFF, etc. I'd like to be able to specify the DPI of the image. I can calculate the right number of pixels needed for a given DPI OK, but the image always comes up as having 72 dpi when opened in another app. Is there a way to set this property at this level, or am I forced to drop down into Image I/O?

DPI of the NSBitmapImageRep is controlled indirectly via the 'size' instance variable, with the size given in Postscript points. I just tried it out and it still works as expected, at least when generating a TIFFRepresentation:
