High Low definition photos

I am not sure how this feature works. Except that some of the resolution depends on the physical size Xara reduces large photos.

For example, I have a photo that is 850px wide at 300dpi. I dragged it from the desktop into Xara. If I being it in at the Original Size it comes in at 800px (my setting for imported photos) at 319dpi. At Reduced it comes in at 800px width and at 230dpi.

I am sure that those who are good at maths can tell me what is going on here. But the images definitely are not set to 96dpi if you chose the Reduced size.

I retain full control as I bring my images into a Blank Photo Xara template so the original dimensions are retained.
The image is 96 dpi so scaling to 32% gives an image at 300 dpi.

It is then a case of copy & paste.

Thanks Gary - you are a mine of information!
Now for your next trick .......... is there any way of clicking on an imported photo and seeing what resolution it has? A bit like 'Properties....'? If not, it would be a good addition!

The status bar at the bottom should tell you the dpi and the infobar should give you it's size (i.e the status bar should say 1 photo "TITLE" (327 dpi) or whatever and the info bar should show W - 13.33in H - 10", or again whatever).
