Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

Thank you for the links, XnTriq.

The Ken Watson ones are what put me on to the idea that the dpi isn't the main thing that matters - except to keep the print shop happy.

I'll check out the other ones. Thank you.

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

I then used save as to save the image again as a .jpg file.
If you ever do this, you are seriously affecting the image quality, because that means it decodes, transforms color twice, and then re-encodes similarly but differently. Unfortunately, MP doesn't give you the option. You need a GUI for ...

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

The pixels and dpi were a benchmark rather than exact as far as I know.

All of this is being filtered through a group of people who know far more about knitting than about image manipulation! It really doesn't help.

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

Yes, I wasn't aware of the confusion over the word "printer" until you replied. Then it seemed obvious to me that "printer" normally means "mechanical device that produces printed papers" but it was a bit late by then.

If I can convince myself that I have a faint hope of producing a picture that ...

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

Thank you.

I've tried that, and it works according to XnView. Unfortunately Windows is continuing to report the lower dpi.

Maybe I'd better just download classic XnView and take it from there!

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

Thank you again!

Re: Unable to change DPI of JPG image

Thank you cday.

The site I linked to refers to XnView on the Changing the DPI page http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/changedpi.html

The problem I have is that the printer I referred to is a person who is going to print a calendar for some of us on a knitting site (Ravelry). It's a bit like the WI ...

Unable to change DPI of JPG image

I am using XnViewMP which I have just downloaded and I am running Windows 10.

I have some images from my phone camera that I want to use for printing; the printer (Edited to Add: I should have said "print shop") is asking for 3375 x 2625 pixels at 300 dpi for a page 12" by 8". I have images that ...
