How is dpi used in ImageEN? I know dpi is a printing measure and obviously doesn't relate to the actual quality of the image but how big you print it, but a client is hung up on this. I have an image created out of an A1 sized pdf which is at 72dpi. I need to resize it to A4 and retain the 72dpi. I resize it to 595 x 842 pixels (which apparently is A4 at 72 dpi) but when I look at the params it is 300dpi. Thansk for any pointers
A1 (23.4 × 33.1 inches) at 72dpi corresponds to an image of 23.4*72 x 33.1*72 = 1684 x 2383 pixels A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches) at 72dpi corresponds to an image of 8.3*72 x 11.7*72 = 597 x 842 pixels
So, yes, you have to resize the image to 597 x 842 with:
ImageEnView.Proc.Resample(597, 842, rfTriangle);
Now you have to change DPI info, with:
ImageEnView.IO.Params.Dpi := 72;
Finally you can save the image (choose a format that supports DPI tags):
