dots per centimetre resolution


Recommended Posts

I do a lot of whining about UI issues, but this item is a critical one for me - being able to set up documents, especially raster documents, using dots-per-centimetre settings rather than dots-per-inch. These figures can't be translated easily - there's no perfect dpcm value equivalent to 300 dpi (300 / 2.54 = 118.110236220474...).  My need for this is a bit arcane, but in essence it means I can work on metric-based document sizes but define a useful pixel-based grid subdivision. Primarily I use this when doing presentation slides and templates, to set up metric documents that match grids in both my pixel-based backgrounds a PowerPoint grid system (based on divisions per cm), but I have a lot of other uses for it. METRIC is a GOOD THING. It's the way of the future - thank you French Revolution!

P.S. if even pig-headed Americans like Adobe can manage to provide this, European Affinity surely can match them...
