> The top fields will allow you to set the size in pixels and the
bottom field will allow you to set the size in a arbitrary
length unit. The difference between the two of them is that if
you specify the the size in e.g. inches then the size in pixels
is dependent of the image resolution. I.e. if you decrease the
default resolution you will decrease the size in pixels but not
the real size measured in e.g. inches.

></H2
><P
> Does the size &amp; unit contra resolution image/unit sound a
bit complicated and hard to understand? Let us give you an
example. You are familiar with the metric system but as most
designers you are more familiar with a resolution based on
pixels per inch (ppi or dpi). Then you have to set image unit to
millimeters (or centimeters) while you will set the resolution
unit to pixels/inch. This will give you the comfort of working
with two familiar units in this case size measured in the metric
system and resolution measured in ppi. As default values that
you have to set i.e. size in this case millimeters and the
resolution in ppi is up to you and what type of work you are
involved in.
