Setting the zoom to 100% resulted in an image that was orders of magnitude larger than lifesize (8.3 x 11.7 inches).
Just curious, is this because my laptop's screen resolution is only 106 x 107 pixels?
I was able to complete the exercise without mishap, and even pasted the 3 panels created with gimp into Libre Office A4 blank pages...without malfunction...just a little shocked with the scaling reported in gimp. Normally one would expect 100% to be actual life size.....just trying to find comfort with why that is not the case
See https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Image-size-in-Gimp and in particular the part "The display resolution is not the printer resolution".
