AI most probably assumes some DPI settings for the clipboard. Note that
it hands a bitmap to GIMP and there's no way that AI and GIMP can
communicate the DPI settings when the image is passed over the
clipboard. So it needs to make some assumptions.

[Gimp-user] Copy/paste size from Illustrator to GIMP

2008-07-03 Thread Chris Mohler
Hi list,

If I copy an embedded image to the clipboard in AI CS3, and then do
File->Acq->From Clipboard, the resulting image is enlarged somewhat.
If I copy the image and then paste into a new AI doc, then save it as
PNG and open in GIMP, the size/DPI is correct.  Pasting from GIMP into
Illustrator works as expected - no size/DPI change.

Anyone have ideas on how to diagnose this?  It's not a huge problem,
but it's irking me because I'm not sure what the problem is.  I'm
running XP in a VM (vmware under Ubuntu 8.04), GIMP 2.4.5 (downloading
2.4.6 right now).

Thanks!
Chris
