That redefines the problem, and presumably you would choose to crop your images slightly in order to meet the printer's requirements without distorting them?

Thinking back to your first post, the 'printer' you are referring to is the printer who is going to print the calendar, rather than the printer attached to your computer!Īs the ratio of the pixel width-to-height of your images (1.3333) is greater than the ratio of the width-to-height of the required images (1.2616), either your images will need to be cropped slightly, or distorted slightly to fit the required pixel dimensions, or in principle a combination of the two. I have images that are 3984 x 2988 pixels at a resolution of 72 dpi. I don't see any reference to XnView software in the link you posted or in that site?įairyhedgehog wrote:I have some images from my phone camera that I want to use for printing the printer is asking for 3375 x 2625 pixels at 300 dpi for a page 12' by 8'. menu provides quite a number of printing options, although you may have to explore the interface to configure it the exact way you need. If you have installed XnViewMP, you will find that the File > Print. The DPI value shown in Explorer is clearly incorrect and likely reflects the standard Windows screen default value. When the image pixel dimensions are in a different ratio to the paper dimensions an exact fit isn't possible, of course, and alternative options may be offered.Įditing an image file to change the DPI value will avoid any loss of quality due to resampling, but with the pixel dimensions you quote some rescaling seems at first sight to be unavoidable. Applications usually provide an option to fit an image to the paper in the printer, so rather than change the DPI of the images you wish to print, it might be simpler to use one of the available printer options to obtain the result you need.
