Only 72 dpi?

[swenpaylay]

Why does AP only export 72 dpi jpegs? No matter what settings I tweak they come out at 72 dpi. Very bad for printing and archiving. There’s no actual dpi setting I can find. Quality is maxed out etc. The files I’m exporting from are max resolution RAWs. This spans a whole year of this app and several different camera types. What’s the deal?

Hey swenpaylay,

Are you creating a document at 72dpi? What's your workflow? 

It is working for me. If I start with a 300dpi doc and export, my exported image is 300dpi.

Just importing raw photos and then exporting them? Does it default to 72 if i dont creat a doc first?

To change dpi for printing to say 300dpi:

tap Resize

in Context menu tap white triangle at right side of menu.

new menu shows current dpi. Change it to whatever (300). Tap Resample icon to turn it off (it defaults to on which is annoying). We don’t want to resample, just change dpi setting.

tap Apply to effect the change. That’s it. Your doc is now 300dpi if that is what you want.

Thanks. 
 

I suggest devs have dpi as a jpeg export setting. This was not obvious and a bit tedious for bulk processing.

@swenpaylay check out resources thread. Someone has contributed a .macros file to select dpi. Handy if you have a lot to do.
