You are looking at the wrong place; the screen resolution is one thing, but the DPI used to compute thje size of an image in pixels when you give a dimension in inches is part of the "Advanced options" in the "new image" dialog. Its default can be set in teh general preferences in the "default new image" section. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
