Changing DPI (PPI)

engsteri000 · Nov 6, 2011, 18:15

I was wondering if there is a way to change the DPI (PPI) of an image when GIMP starts. At default it open the image at 72DPI, and I would like it to open in the native DPI I took the photo at. Instead of having to change the DPI each time I open a photo. If there's anyway I can do this, please let me know.

Edit/Preferences/Default image/Advanced options

OTOH, DPI of an image is completely indicative as long as you don't print and when you print you can change it.
