Resolution in cm

Post by cosinus »

I discovered that PrintFab Composer does not support image files that have their resolution specified in cm. Here is the same image, exported in inches and cm from Capture One. This applies to both JPG and TIFF files. In the PrintFab Composer window, I just dragged the images over, and only the one with the resolution in inches displays in the correct size. Hopefully metadata is preserved in the two image (ducks)s, so you can test.

Correct printed size should be 10x15cm or 4x6 inches

Output from exiftool
NZ9_3480-inch.jpg
Image Size : 1772x1181
X Resolution : 300
Y Resolution : 300
Resolution Unit : inches

Hello cosinus,

thank you for your report of not correctly supported image size headers. This seems to be correct, we will try to address this in the next release of PrintFab.
