Export bitmap - maintain dpi

Postby mickeydog » Sun Oct 27, 2013 1:45 am

I am exporting a bitmap of a selection. I reduce the width and height but then it also reduces the dpi. I want to maintain the 300 dpi. How do I do this?

Re: Export bitmap - preserve aspect ratio

Hello:
When you do a selection, there must be a padlock symbol that appears in the top horizontal bar . Just click on it. Or while holding the mouse when scaling, press CTRL, which preserves the ratio of scaling, if you try to move the mouse diagonally.
It's hard to me to explain with words. Check here:

If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
