Issue with Layout: Print to image creates jpg with wrong size

Hi there,

When printing an A1 image from layouts at 350dpi, it prints not at 894 x 541 350dpi, but at 2887x4088mm 72 dpi.

Unlike printing from the model space which maintains the chosen DPI, the layout space converts it to 72dpi equivalent.

The problem with this is that when I place the image in indesign; expecting it to be to scale, it appears enormous.

If it still helps:
That’s a legacy behavior of JPG. JPG are “web” images (by default 72dpi) , so they do not store dpi settings. Use other formats (like png) which do lossless compressions and store dpi settings. In case you need to stick to jpg, just re-set the correct resolution in indesign/photoshop etc back to your setting (350 DPI, without resampling), you’ll get the expected size in millimeters (while the size in pixels remains the same).
