Maybe I should ask this on a Math related StackExchange site instead? I considered that, but since you graphic designers are more familiar with DPI and printing maybe you can help me out here.
#Gimp scale how to#
With the numbers provided there should be some calculations that could be done to figure it out, but I just don't see how to make sense of these numbers. So, the question is which zoom level do I need to set in order to see the image as much big as it will be on the paper, or as much close as possible, in order to get a more accurate preview. Now, when I open the image on GIMP and change the zoom level to 100%, since the image is so much bigger than the screen resolution it doesn't fit on the screen, and it looks actually much bigger than the actual size it will get on the paper. Based on the display numbers above, and according to this site, the pixel density of the screen is 102 DPI.The display has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (which is the actual resolution configured) and a diagonal size of 21.5 inches.You can find these options in the tool options panel located at the top of the interface. Adjust the brush settings such as brush size, hardness, and opacity according to your preferences. Select the 'Smudge Tool' from the GIMP toolbox located on the left side of the interface. The image resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels. Open GIMP and create a new document or open an existing image.
I will provide the numbers I'm working with. What I actually want is to see an image on the screen at same size (or as much close as possible) to the size it will get once printed. This question is actually a bit special, so I didn't know exactly how to formulate it.
