Quote:My display's resolution is 2880 X 1920 (267 PPI).
My windows display scale is set to the default of 200%.
Gimp detects the ppi as 133. I assume this is correct as it's 1/2 of 267, rounded down to the nearest pixel.
Is the 200% setting so that the Gimp UI is a reasonable size ? Not much you can do about that.
One question is why use dot-for-dot? At 100% zoom it shows an image as it would be printed. Normally turned off for 99.9% of the time when you are editing. Mostly irrelevant, as printers will scale an image anyway.
I would think that your display setting should be 267 if that is your display pixel density. Use the calibrate option in Edit -> Preferences -> Display and see what it gives.
Quote:My workaround has been to set the ppi of my image to double the ppi set in gimp and turn off dot for dot
That would be my workaround as well if I wanted to check print size on the display but for sending to a printer stick with conventional values say 300 ppi.
