A web site will render images at a certain amount of pixels (resampling it on the fly if needed) and won't give a flying f* about what DPI/PPI setting the image has. However, I would still like to have a way to give export sizes in centimeters/inches/whatever and dpi, simply because there are cases where that's the more practical thing. Say I want to print an image at 30x40cm and I know that the optimal DPI for my favorite printer is 300DPI. Darktable could calculate the amount of pixels for me. -- Richard Levitte [email protected] http://richard.levitte.org/ "Life is a tremendous celebration - and I'm invited!" -- from a friend's blog, translated from Swedish ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
