Retaining quality with PDF
#3
Thanks Rich,

This cover is for Amazon books and they demand a PDF--there's no way around it. "Preview" is just the name of the application that opens PDFs on a macbook. The dialogue box you see there is the "info" showing the exact dimensions/data of the PDF file.

Please could you direct me to the "import from PDF" dialogue? I had a look around Gimp and couldn't locate it.

Thanks again.

EDIT: okay. I understand now. Putting the image back in gimp and setting the resolution to 300dpi show that the info's still there, although Preview shows with lower resoultion. That's great! But Amazon is taking the image at 100dpi it seems, because they show me a shrunken version that doesn't fit my book in their print preview. Guess I'll have to haunt the forums over at kdp. Thanks one final time for helping me understand this.
