I like this. It's well thought out, and practical. One part I wonder if you considered, is that only the last 'absolute' modifier for a target would apply; the ineffective controls should be marked as such. A tree visualization could work better: Opacity <- Pressure [percent] [0][1.0] Size <-

You can use Image->scale image to directly set the DPI. In X11 it's possibly to directly set the dpi of the screen; however if you did that, printing would probably be huge (as patrick says, typical display devices are 75..100 DPI) If it were me, I'd write a script I could use from GIMP to set i
