Crop & resize image to measurements.

[attachment=9584 Wrote:idiocracy pid='33811' dateline='1679558547']That is correct, there's a 3mm margin. They replied that they print at 150 dpi. Now i don't know if ppi and dpi are basically the same, or wildly different. But i've set ppi to 300 for each exported image. So it should be fine?

I just open the sharpening, click ok and then it's applied?  

That is interesting. First the ppi / dpi In this case they are interchangeable. A guide to ppi https://resources.printhandbook.com/page...inting.php but save that for later.

Question. Does the 110mm x 90 mm include the 3 mm margin ? Is the initial crop in a 113:93 ratio or is your 110:90 correct ?

If the Printer uses 150 ppi then you should use 150 ppi and set that in the Image -> Print Size resolution. That ends up with an image size of 667 x 549 pixels for a printing size of 113mm x 93mm. Not photo quality but probably applicable to type of printing material. A plain card or an absorbent art paper is never photo quality.

To sharpen or not to sharpen is all a matter of preference. Going by the above probably no.

This is a 113mm 93mm @ 150 ppi crop and scale. The scale shows at 34% , which is about a low as I would like to go. Open it up in Gimp, check the Image -> Print Size for 150 ppi
