You can use Image->scale image to directly set the DPI. In X11 it's possibly to directly set the dpi of the screen; however if you did that, printing would probably be huge (as patrick says, typical display devices are 75..100 DPI)
If it were me, I'd write a script I could use from GIMP to set image DPI to 300,300. the pdb call needed is gimp-image-set-resolution (image, 300, 300) On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 8:47 AM, ChadDavis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to take some screen captures that will be used in a book.
