In Gimp, you can change the DPI of an image and thus adjust its logical resolution
Gimp: Change the DPI of a photo
The DPI of an image describes the pixels per inch. With Gimp you can subsequently increase or reduce this value.
- To do this, open the photo to be edited in the image editing program.
- Then click on “Image” and “Scale image” in the menu bar.
- In the new window, set the unit “Pixel/in” next to “Y resolution”. This describes the unit pixel per inch, i.e. DPI.
- Now you can change the value for the X and Y resolution as required and thus adjust the DPI of the image.
- Finally, save your changes with “OK”.
Gimp: Set DPI for new workspace
In Gimp, you can not only edit existing images, but also create new workspaces and work in them. The DPI number can also be set as required here.
- Open Gimp and click on “File” and “New” at the top. A window will open.
- Click on the “Advanced settings” section.
- Next to the “Y resolution” entry, set the “Pixel/in” unit.
- You can then freely define the DPI using the input fields for “X resolution” and “Y resolution”.
- Click “OK” to create the finished workspace.
