I tried to create a new image in corel paintshop pro xi. The settings i gave is 72 pixels width and 72 pixels height and 100 pixels per inch. I finished my image and saved it as gif. From windows explorer i right clicked the image and saw the advanced properties, I am able to see 96 dots per inch is set. But when i see the properties of images that are taken from cannon camera it's show as 180 dots per inch.
1.I had set 100 pixels per inch in paintshoppro xi but it's showing as 96 dotsper inch.. Why is it so?
2.Also for camera images alone why it's not changing 96dpi
The only relevant measurement of an image is the pixel x pixel value, depending on the application you open the image in it might assign a linear value like pixel per inch to the image. If you have a 100 x 100 pixel image and you display it on a 100DPI monitor you will see a 1 inch square image, if you display the same image on a 50DPI monitor then your image will be two inches square. If your image is to be displayed on the internet then you only have to worry about the pixel x pixel dimension, if you print then you will need a image large enough to support about 300DPI at the size you like your image to be.
Hi Alfred,
Thanks a lot for the info... When i do right click and see the properties of image file (taken from cannon camera) in windows explorer it's showing as 180 dpi .I created a new image with 180 dpi in corel paintshop pro 11 and saved the file to c drive. When i do right click and see the properties of image file it's showing as 92 dpi. I am not sure why windows explorer is showing the dpi as 92 instead of 180 dpi.. But the image file taken from the camera it's showing as 180 dpi...
Also i saw your website.. it's looks good
