My imported images arrive larger inside Inkscape

Postby javierdl » Sat Jul 04, 2015 4:41 am

I create a PNG file that is 2048 x 2048 in Blender, then I import it into Inkscape, but it arrives at 2560 x 2560. So far I just scale it down to its real size and move on, but I wouldn't mind changing a setting or something similar ONCE and for all.

Thanks guys,

JDL

Hi.

2048/2560=72/90 - inkscape uses a 90 dpi working space, while other programs are usually in 72 dpi.
I suggest changing the unit of the measurement, so the numbers should match.

Thanks for the suggestion LU, I thought that would have done it. But it didn't :(
I went to the Preferences (Shift + Ctrl + P) and changed basically everything that had "90 DPI" to 72 DPI.

When importing after that the image's dimensions were still 2560
