Re: Output png filesize much bigger than contents

Thanks for the explanation, A couple of notes: My latest attempt was at 3000x4500 I resized the images in GIMP, not Inkscape. They aren't square. That's why 990x1320. They have space between them. That's why the numbers don't seem to add up. Horizontally. there are two images @990 and 3000-1980 = 10...

Re: Output png filesize much bigger than contents

Just for completeness: if you describe the desired output size AND desired printing resolution, then you could calculate the necessary image size in pixels. What export resolution would lead to that pixel size? Output is to be 20 inches by 30 inches at 200dpi I set the document size to 4000x6000px. ...

Output png filesize much bigger than contents

I'm making a poster using pictures. All that's on the poster are 6 jpg pictures, each about 500k, so a total of 3M. When I export a png file, it's about 13M, which is too big for me to upload to the printer. I have what I think is partial workaround, by uploading the large png to an online png->jpg ...
