This is a simple work flow issue. After saving image.xcf you can change the resolution before and/or after exporting image.png. If you want two png files with different resolutions you can export, image_300.png change resolution and export image_72.png Gimp will ask if you want to save the

This is such a common task, there may be cause to have a Resize option bundled with the Export command. Having to always perform them as two separate steps is an annoyance, but the possibility of accidentally saving the wrong resolution back to the XCF file is a danger. A question that asked

Why aren't you scaling it before you export it? Undo the scale or don't save the scaled xcf? It seems to me that you would want to minimize any possible (even if trivial) distortion by editing the exported (flattened) image rather than what you are actually working on. On 1/13/2014 11:27 AM,
