Hi,

just a quick note about how to handle the resolution of the screenshots
we're doing.

Axel converted all to a resolution of 144dpi, which fixes most of the weird LaTeX/PDF conversion bugs. I'm just not sure, if we convert the images to 144dpi from time to time (and update 72dpi images) or force people to convert them by themself before checkin?

since most but not all of the images are in need to be set to 144dpi print resolution, it might be useful if people do set the appropriate number when creating the images. The print resolution is not affected by image manipulation or cvs commands at all. When doing a release from gimp-docs we should create the pdf versions anyway and that would be the right moment to have a critical look to the size of the images in there as well.

just my 2c

Probably the first method would be the best for everyone ...

Greetings,

I would like to conform to this, but I cannot find an option for setting the resolution in xwd (IMHO It is always safer to start with a picture with as many appropiate parameters as possible). Any sugestions for an alternative; anther program or an easy function in GIMP to achieve this?

sure you can do this with gimp. There is a command "print resolution" in the image menu which does it for you. To do it in batch with dozens of images I used image magick.
