ah, I understand . . . hmm. being able to do what you have in mind
would be a cool function, indeed.

Hello Jeff,
Resampling my picture is not exactly what i had in mind, I am
really talking about resolution and not size, since a picture of
2500 x 3500 pixels is about what i need for a professional letter
(A4) size printout.
Whatever the final outputting size, i will always need 300 dots per
inch (publishing industry standard res), while a screen resolution
is 72 dots per inch.
There lies the gap... For example, a screenshot on Powerbook 15.2"
at 72dpi, converted to 300dpi, gives a final size of 11 cm x 7 cm.
My goal is to produce a 42 cm x 30 cm final picture, at 300dpi,
without resampling - pure pixel for pixel. I can very well afford
to lose velocity, since i am computing still images!
This explain my earlier idea of displaying only a part of the
picture before screen-shoting. But, M. Latour, couldn't we have
this somehow automated inside the program, adding an option to
export .tif or .png?
Thank you none the less for making me discover rasterbator, which
is actually a very cool piece of software!

Hello,
For printing large format images, you may want to try a free
program called "rasterbator." You can download it here: http://
arje.net/rasterbator or if you don't have a PC, you can use the
web service here:http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/
It will take a "normal" sized image and blow it up to even wall
sized dimensions.
