View > Image Information

Post by pearson100 »

PSP X6

Dialog box of Current Image Information (accessed via View > Image Information), the dimensions used to be given
in inches and dpi/in. But within the last week, it has switched to pixels, mm and pixels per cm. How do I get this
back to inches? I've checked Preferences, where under the Units section, I have it set to inches. I've not changed
any settings so I don't know why this has happened.

Thanks!

That's on an image by image basis. If an Image does not have any resolution information included then it's given a default value by PSP. But if it does have resolution information, then the information provided by the image is used. PSP should not change it.

So it might be the image itself. PNGs for instance always show in cm because of how PSP saves them, so if you're saving from PSP it'll always appear as cm when you load it in. If you're saving to another format this should not be a problem.

If you want to change it to inches you need to do one simple thing. Use the Image Resize command.

Image -> Resize

Set the Print Dimensions resolution to Pixels per inch.

In the Pixel Dimensions area set the resize type to percent and use 100 percent on both Width and Height.

When this does is this does not resize the image, so there will be no editing of the image at all. But it'll change the values from cm to Inches.
