Screenshot Captor... cm vs. in

<< < (3/5) > >>

tomos:
Perhaps there is some misunderstanding and you think that someone is upset about your question/request -- not at all.

yes - not at all here too :D

I think (especially after mouser's experimenting) it's actually got nothing to do with the image, but has to do with the programme settings. In my ancient version of photoshop I can choose to look at the resolution in terms of pixels-per-inch (dpi), or pixels-per-cm.

I composed several replies... and this one appears to be the least aggressive.   :P

it sounds like your problem is with your image editor not SC.

I didn't mean to imply that SC had a problem and I don't think I did.  I was looking for a setting or information I couldn't find myself.

SO: My conclusion is that PSP treats all PNG files as if they were created by sane Europeans using the metric system.  While jpgs and psp formatted files are treated as if they were created by crazy Americans.-mouser (March 25, 2012, 11:57 AM)

I'm not biased in any way when in comes to using the Metric System vs. US Standard.  I was just brought up with the US version and can't seem to relate to Metric.  There must be some 'Europeans' out there who think the same way about US Standard.

No big deal really... I'm kind of sorry I started this topic.  :(   And I'll think twice before I start another one.

I'll still be cautious before posting a New Topic again.  Constructive criticism (about the original topic) is always a plus.  But sometimes, in the past, the word vulture came to mind at DC.  I guess maybe other forums are conducted in this manner but I have no comparison.

.....................................................

So in conclusion...
Is there a way to set SC to always capture in inches?   :tellme:   I haven't been able to locate the setting.    :huh:

If it can't be set... maybe it could be added to a future update?   :D

I'll assume the answer to my first question is NO.  And, I guess, the answer to my second question is probably not?    :tellme:

Hi Crabby!
I think what people are saying is that Screencaptor does not decide to capture in inches or milimeters. It is Paint Shop pro that decides to convert the pixels to either inches or milimeters. Maybe someone that knows Paint Shop Pro can help investigate whether that is a setting you can change. Good luck.

So the answers to both your original quetions are no, but maybe with some help you can still get what you want. :)

mouser:
Or put another way, it seems like this is something that would be impossible to fix in screenshot captor, since there is no way to embed this information in a png file, and that the discrepancy you are seeing seems to be entirely a creation of Paint Shop Pro, and has nothing to do with the image file.

crabby3:
Thanks to both of you, justice and mouser, for your understanding and input on this issue.   :)

I guess my only option is to grab stuff using BMP because I don't like what JPG does to pics.   :huh:

When I find a solution for this Jasc/PNG/metric issue I'll add it to this topic.  I say 'when' because this my newest quest.  I know the answer's out there... I just need to click the correct link or read the right (PSP) forum page.  ;D

BTW  Corel doesn't even list Paint Shop Pro on their updates and patches page any more.  (A reminder for others... to backup their Jasc patches/updates).   There are probably other sources for these but nothing beats the real thing!  ;)
