Dear all,

I saw Elaine mail regarding the 300 DPI question, but I am not able to get more than 72, I played with the width and heigh as follows:

save /Users/fglaser/test2.tiff pixelsize 0.1 
save /Users/fglaser/test2.tiff width 900 

But I am not able to get more than 72. 
Could you please help me to get 300 DPI?

Thanks!

Best,

Fabian

Hi Ahmed,
Currently the saving dialog does not show many options, but the “save” command includes all of these controls.  Use the “save” command with “width” and/or “height” option, where the values are numbers of pixels. You would just calculate the pixels by multiplying the desired size in inches by the dpi. E.g. 3 inches wide X 300 dpi = 900 pixels wide.

See:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
