Exactly. The Photo Wizard's printing layouts change the dimensions and, consequently, the resolution. As I said previously, if you (or anyone else) can tell me of a method for using custom dimensions in the Photo Wizard, I would definitely appreciate it, as it seems like a viable workaround. Hey, as long as it works. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info.

yup, I agree with Rick.. No, what I really want to do is print an image at a particular size and dpi. The creation part was actually pretty easy, thanks to this program.

Yes, that's ultimately the problem. I need the dimensions of my printed output to be precise down to the millimeter at ~300dpi, and it seems like the current Print function can't do that. Am I correct, or is there a workaround? 3"x2" was just an example; the actual dimensions will be much more awkward values like 4.375". Is there a way to enter custom sizes in the Print Wizard?

I understand the difference between dpi and ppi, and that monitor resolution affects an image's on-screen size. What I can't figure out is how to get PDN to print a high-resolution image at the correct specs (i.e., pixels/ppi). The Print function only gives me the Windows Photo Printing Wizard, which obviously isn't going to give me the correct specs. (I was hoping to get around that problem by saving in a non-PDN format, hence this post, but I gather that won't work.) Anyway, Rick Brewster's post seems to imply that it's not possible to get PDN to print an image to exact pixels/ppi specs. True? Thanks for the replies.

Okay... When I increase an image's resolution in Photoshop, save it, then print the image, I get the smaller, higher-resolution image. All I'm asking is how to do the same thing in PDN.

I've only recently started using this program, but I can't seem to figure out how to save images as their actual size (i.e., pixels/ppi). Example: I have a 900x600 blank canvas that I want to set at a resolution of 300ppi. Using the Resize tool, I increase the resolution from 96ppi to 300ppi. The values for Print Size (width and height) automatically decrease correspondingly, to 3"x2". Looks good. I click Okay. The blank image in the PDN window still looks to be the same size as before, but the rulers on the top and left of the window are"stretched out," suggesting that the image is now smaller. Once again, looks good. I doodle around a bit and save the image. Here's the problem: regardless of which format I use (bmp, png, jpg), the saved image is not 3"x2"; it's much larger. In fact, it's the same size as the original 96ppi blank image. I also have this problem when I start with an imported image rather than a blank canvas. What's the secret? I have a feeling it's something very simple, but I can't find an answer anywhere in the help file or this forum. I know that with Photoshop I always disable resampling when I increase resolution, but I don't see an option for that in PDN. Thanks for the help!
