Hi welcome
the quick answer to this is to make a copy in xtreme and increase its size by 133.33..% [so it shpws 72dpi on the status bar] and then export this at 72dpi
this may not be absolutely precise though

Can you change the default dpi in the OPTIONS menu to 72dpi from 96dpi?
Things you should never say when pulled over by the police:
Could you hold my beer while I dig out my license?
and where it can be changed, I was looking for?
tema
xtreme works internally at 96dpi
this is causing the resizing
it cannot be reset in the program
does resizing the bitmap not work?

only for 'auto-generated' bitmaps - AFAIK that does not apply to export or bitmap copy functions

Hello Tema
72 dpi is Macintosh screen resolution. 96dpi is Windows screen resolution. If you save your image at 72dpi and it is viewed on a Mac the size will be right. But when viewed in Windows the size is smaller.
But the bigger question, if I might ask, is why do you want to save the image at 72 dpi? Unless you are designing specifically for a Macintosh viewer, you are better off exporting at Windows resolution, 96 dpi.
If this was not your question and want to know how to export an image and change the export resolution, see the attached. Highlight the resolution in the Bitmap Size tabbed section, and key in the desired resolution.

Gary your attachment is what Tema shows attached [2nd] to his original post
He has tried this but it resizes the image of course, and that is the problem, he does not want this resizing to happen - at least that is how I read it...
If you know a way of changing the export dpi without affecting the hight and width in the dialog box I would love to know it
Otherwise the only way to do it is to resize the bitmap [picture] in xtreme before export - right?

Rather than joining the dpi/ppi debate (or myths) - I invite you to read Wayne Fulton's easy to understand and enlightening article.
maybe the program is not provided?!
