You can see the image size as in the embedded photo. You need to select the image with the "pick tool" (arrow), and see the image size in the toolbar.

@edmiston99, the OP is talking about the picture pixel dimensions on import (being reduced to a default 500px width), not the scale on the page. This is relevant if you are scaling up to a much larger width.
@Egg, I am making a guess that XWDP does not have the import option to override or change this; XDPX does.
@Gary, the 100% tool is a coarse control as it only scales on the centre of the image; one then has to re-position all over again. The dragging of corners is more controllable. Deleting and dragging afresh form the Bitmap gallery resotres to 100% (96dpi).
My Post #2 stands but I am happy to be corrected.

Cheers Acorn, I can never remember what's included & not included within all these Xara optional software variations.Quote:

The sad thing is a lot of the time the code is in the lesser application, it is just the User Interface that has been mangled to satisfy some weird marketing dream that by making the designer jump through hoops to achieve something the hard way will force them to buy XDPX.

I don't have the same options under Utilities as you have. ???Attachment 120243
Mine scales the entire page view, not just a photo. I'm not seeing the features or the "view bitmap" that Egg mentioned above
Egg's screen capture is for Designer Pro X. WD 365 does not have those same options.
Hi LGF. Apparently it's as Gary stated:

So if I can't change the dpi of a jpg that is imported .. please educate me on this ... merely dragging a picture to a larger size once imported does not change the dpi correct? spreading the picture out (making it larger) makes the image quality lower or it has no effect?
Image quality of photos is of particular importance on this one project I'm working on. Images are being rendered on very large displays are being compared for quality. It I needed to upgrade my software that would allow me more control of how images are imported ... which would you recommend?
