resolution issues
Hi Inkscapers!
I am fairly new to Inkskape and experiencing some difficulties with the way it handles units and resolution. I use IS to create graphics for web sites, so I have "Default export resolution" in Inkskape Preferences set to 72px. At first I always set my document units to pixels, but then I noticed that the exported bitmaps turned out to be smaller — pixel-wise that is. So I took to using points as document units after discovering that this resulted in the expected export sizes. Problem is, when I import a bitmap it turns out to be smaller in Inkskape…
What is one to do? Is there a way to set the document resolution?
Thanks in advance! Sebastian

That's because Inkscape uses 90dpi. Use the same value in export and you will get 1:1 correspondence.

Aug! I wish I would have known that a week ago! We were making business cards for my wife and went through quite a few exports before we got the right size. :-)
