How to change resolution w/out changing size? - drpeppercan - 04-05-2017
Hi all,
I just want to decrease the resolution of my image. The problem is that every time I try it also affects the image's size.
I go to the Image menu, then Scale image.
Thanks guys,
DPC

Would Filters>>Blur>>Pixelise do what you want:

I wonder if it is this?

Left Image
200x200 pix resolution 96 ppi Print size is 53 x 53 mm
Right Image
If the resolution is doubled to 192 ppi then to maintain the print size 53 x 53 mm the image size also has to be doubled to 400x400 pix
That is the way raster (bitmapped) images work.
