| Summary | 0015837: Import of Tiff files: the default resolution unit should be "per inch" | ||||
| Description | Hi, When importing a new tiff image on the canvas, this one appears with a resolution of 72ppi. Even if the file has Resolution. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Save the test.tif file in attachement. You can test the file with Imagemagick in a terminal "$ identify -verbose test.tif | grep Resolution" → (output Resolution: 508x508) 3. Open Scribus , a A4 , drag and drop the tif on canvas. 4. The tif will appear bigger than a 2cm x 2cm box. | ||||
| Additional Information | Tested and reproduced in latest 15.5 appimage, 1.4.8 from Ppa package. Tested and reproduced with other regular ppi: 300, 96, 600... | ||||
| Tags | dpi, image, ppi, TIFF | ||||

In fact your file does not specify if the resolution is expressed in dot per inch or dot per centimeter because the resolution unit tag is missing. |

Hi @jghali. Thank you for the quick answer! So do you think I should bug report that to Krita team? Or is it a unit (per inch) that Scribus could assume in case missing instead of falling back to 72ppi? |
|
|
I have to check what TIFF specs says about resolution unit tag. I'll have to do that later tho as I have to quit my hotel room in a moment. I tend to think that we should probably use "per inch" unit as default. However it would be good if Krita would set the TIFF resolution unit tag properly. |
|
|
Nice. No hurry, I'm not in a workflow breaker situation: I'm even using other file format as TIFF in my project right now and I'm using Scribus 1.4.8. So, +1 for the "per inch" by default. I'll report this one to Krita. Thanks! |

Ok, so the old TIFF specs says that the default resolution unit is indeed "per inch". So I will modify 1.5.x code to define this default value properly. I won't modify our stable 1.4.x branch however, as I fear that change may cause some document breakages. |

|
Thank you again for having a look and fixing it in 1.5.x ! True, I totally understand for 1.4.x documents, that's wise. |
