Linked dpi (ppi)
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 8:26 am
A fairly simple suggestion (I imagine):
When changing dpi of an image, there are two values (X & Y) to fill in. Why isn't it only one value as default? Most users won't use different X and Y-dpi and, in my opinion, it only makes it confusing. It could be useful to link the X and Y-dpi together in the dialog, so entering one value in ie. X would also appear in Y. Of course, it would be great to turn the "linking" off, so you can adjust it if you need different X and Y dpi.
(This is the principle of a certain commercial image-editing software)
And isn't the correct terminology PPI (pixels per inch), not DPI? I recall that DPI is a measure for the resolution of the printer, and not the image. Not an important thing perhapps...
