Page Size

Just trying to find out if anyone has knowledge of why this Page size discrepency is so.

In the first image, the Page Size shows 300 odd pixel width, yet, in Document Settings it shows 12,000 px width.

Thankyou for all replies.

    • Hi Myron,
      X7. please
      • That's because you're working on pixels. If you start a new document, at 300 dpi and choose 3840x2160 pixels, the file informations and the document properties will match. but is you change the resolution of the document to 96 dpi, the document size will change. If you input again 3840x2160 pixels at 96 dpi, the document properties will show 12000 pixels. It's justa  mathematical issue:

        300/96= 3,125,

        12000/3840=3,125,

        6750/2160=3,125

        • Oh God, now I'm having a complete brain freeze, because on my attachments both windows show @ 96dpi,
          Were your two attachments from the same document? Because if you ....
          let's forget it.
          Maybe a light bulb will flash one day & I will see the light.

          That aside, let's say I don't worry about getting my head around it, and accept it like the 'golden mean',,
          I'm just wondering then, if my computers memory has to deal with 3 times the file size by customising it at 96 dpi rather than the default 300 dpi.
          Thanks 4 your input , Ariel
