[Gimp-user] Book cover image density /resolution etc..

[Mark Banschbach, OFS via gimp-user-list]

Greetings all, 
I am a noob where Gimp is concerned.   I have used it as a photo editor on a 
fairly cursory level and absolutely love it.  UNTIL, I decided to try to use it 
to design the cover for my first book.      
I tried, I tested and stretched and ran myself mad trying to get it to do what 
I wanted and in the end I gave up and gave it to someone else to do in 
Photoshop because it was a quick fix and I only have a limited amount of spare 
time I can dedicate to these projects. 
I am now preparing to publish my second book and I am back to the same issues I 
was having before.. 
I have a Hi Definition JPG  image ( I am currently away from the image or I 
could provide the resolution)  that I have attempted to put into GIMP and the 
book cover I have is 6x9 inch cover, and the image needs to be a minimum of 300 
dpi and when I go in to adjust the size of the image according to the 
instructions I have, (entering the dpi level in the X and then the cover size 
in the appropriate location,  it resets the DPI level to something smaller.   
I had this same issue before. but could not get around it..   I spent hours 
going over how to interlace multiple images and it would cause a  sane man to 
go mad...    
And so I am hoping that I can get some help in figuring out this process. 
Thanks in advance.. 
Mark
