help with dpi sorting or filtering

Post by Jane »

<Moderator's note: This topic has been moved>

I did search on this topic and came up dry, i tried a couple of variations and didnt find anything, so please excuse my ignorance if this is a repost, or posted in the incorrect section.

I have an image database created over the past couple of years, and want to now delete anything that is below 200dpi, currently i have searched the net (granted on occasion intimidated by the results) and have come up empty handed. There are many available for removing duplicate images etc, but nothing out there to sort by dpi, alas if anyone can help me with this i would greatly appreciate it.

I don't think that you can search that with XnView.

BUT if you are trying to use "dpi" as a quality indication, you are wrong: dpi is just a density indication (ie: based on desired size and number of pixel), that means *nothing* when used alone.
=> I can make a A3 300dpi print from a 1dpi file... without interpolation!

Focusing on dpi is a bit like entering a gas-station and asking the man for "10L per 100km, please"... :mrgreen:
