Can't grasp relationship between image resolution and printer DPI
#3
@rich2005 Thanks, yes I do understand those concepts. The image I'm working with is not a photo or something like that, is an image that I'm creating from scratch. Krita could be a better tool, perhaps, but I know more about GIMP so I'm gonna stick with it. My question was more in the sense if I should specify a lower DPI in the image setting so I can work with it because if I set 8.5" x 11" (and that's the real size of the final image and print), with 600 DPI, it is so huge that is hard to work with it on my computer. At the end I want to print it with the maximum amount of "resolution" that my printer allows and that's 600 DPI, this is something that will be look at reading distance. Or, it could be that if I want to print that size at 600 DPI, that's the way it is and what I need to do is to replace my computer with one with higher specs.
