I'll try to explain more clearly what I did (libreoffice 3.5.5: 1 - create your image or whatever in draw. I created a 5.3/5.3in image 2 - file -> export 3 - choose png (as you were talking about png initially; it might work the same for other formats) 4 - in the next dialog, it show the good size (5.3/5.3) with 96 dpi. There, you can put whatever you want, let's say 300dpi.
That's where you have to put *back* the size. If I put 300dpi, the size shrink to 1,7in, BUT after this you can put back the original size, by typing 5.3 again. In the end, it produced a png file with 1593x1593 pixels with a resolution of 300dpi, which would be printed at 5.3x5.3in Here's a short video of the process, creating a 300dpi png of a 5.3in drawing (5.3in == 13,46cm roughly). The drawing is exported, then opened in gimp to show the image properties: http://youtu.be/CKPfCgNCGUU -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2012/8/16 anne-ology <[email protected]> > There are 2 things I've done - one, as Gabriel points out, and the > other is 'saving as' to whichever image you wish it to be. > > Unless you've upgraded to the .5 - which I haven't yet - then this > should work; > > > > On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 4:28 PM, Gabriel Risterucci <[email protected] > >wrote: > > When you put the desired dpi value, simply set the size to what you want.
