Thank you Fred.

Okay, let me explain my work flow.

Two days ago I was looking at a 3 shot pano of Lower Calf Creek, each frame 36 megapixels.

I was wondering how big this image was natively. To me that means how many inches is this image at 300 pixels per inch. I try to print at 300 ppi. That image is 7031 x 11087. Now I know that if I just divide 731 / 300 I will get 23.47 inches. But I do not want to do that for every image. I want that information displayed. I want to work in inches not just pixels. I also know that I do not have to worry about printing at or close to 300 ppi and I can just let the program do it.

So I opened the image in Photoshop and went into the image size command and saw immediately the size in inches at 300 ppi is 23.47 x 36.957. Then I said "Ah ha. I'll just print it at 24 x 36 and it will work fine." But I needed the image size in inches information to do that. So I always have to go to Photoshop to get it. I thought there would be some way to see the size in both pixels and inches at 300 ppi without going out to Photoshop.

That is all I want. And I do intend to keep working that way. Not by looking at an image and starting by thinking about how big I want to print it. This is how I work. This is actually a very simple question. Can the program show file size in inches at 300 ppi (or some density) and pixels? I do not see that it currently does this.

And thank you guys for trying to help me. Happy New Year!

It sounds like Qimage cannot tell me the size of the image. I know how to do everything you mentioned. Thank you.

But the very first thing I want to know is how big the image is as mentioned earlier.

Can it tell me that?

Thank you Fred.

I should have given you more information. My file sizes vary wildly! They can range from a standard 10 megapixel image to a 36 megapixel image to a 25 image panorama that can extend several feet. So I want to know what the file size is in inches at 300 dpi. That way I have a relative idea of how big the paper has to be and how far I can go in printing big. I print up to 44" wide. I have my own limitations on how big I am willing to blow things up or how tight I am willing to crop.

I also do a lot of small prints too, so often I look at an older image and forget how big it is. I know pixel dimensions can get me there but I look at lots of images and a quick way to see pixels and inches together, similar to the way Photoshop does it with the Image Size... command is important to me.

So pixels with inches and resolution is what I want to see at a glance. Make sense?

Hi Guys:

Every time I go to print, the very first thing I want to know is the existing image size.

Right now I just go into Photoshop and open and inspect the image. Once I know the image size I go into Qimage and do all the rest. But I do not see where I can do this in Qimage. Can anyone clue me in.

Thanks.
