I had to laugh when I read your notation, because I was doing the exact same thing last night prior to my original post. Thinking "well the page measures 4 1/8" wide on the screen, yet gimp claims the image is shown 18.2% of actual size, how can that be?
Then, in an uncommon moment of mental clarity, it occurred to me that there was roughly a 3 to 1 ratio between the resolution of the image, compared to my display. And dividing that 4 1/8" by 3 got me close enough to what I expected would be 18.2% of 8 1/4 inches.....that I suspected I was on the right track...more or less.
You guys are great. I've learned more about gimp in the past 2 years following your solution/tutorials, than I did in 15 previous years hacking my way through the menus
