well that's understandable, at least I know now so I don't look like a fool later on. (I kinda feel like one right now though lol) Sorry about the last post too, I filled the captcha ahead of time so when I finish the post I can just click send message, but I wasn't thinking, and pressed the button.

[Gimp-user] GIMP ignores my screen resolution settings
Edit → Preferences → View → Screen resolution → Calibrate… → I measured on the screen and got 424 mm horisontally and 185,5 mm vertically. The result was a resolution of 95.849×95.849 dpi. Restarted GIMP, created a new image of 100×100 mm, viewed it at 100% zoom but it was still 75×75 mm, just like before I calibrated. Does the screen resolution thing work at all? I experimented with other settings too, but still a 100×100 mm image was 75×75 mm, no matter what values I used. The quick workaround for my screen is to view at 133% zoom, but that doesn't feel right… Tested this at 2 different computers with the same lack of results: Ubuntu 9.10, GIMP 2.6.8 Ubuntu 10.10, GIMP 2.6.10 Am I supposed to restart Ubuntu for these settings to take place? -- Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

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 Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Especially on a list the topic of which is graphics, it's worth pointing out how to illustrate your problem. I feel appropriately chastised.
