Hi. i'm realy new to the fórum, so sorry if this is the wrong section.

I don't see an option to set my screen DPI in Krita

GIMP automaticaly detects my screen DPI (wich is 109 DPI) so for example when I create an A4 document, disable the Pixel by Pixel viewing mode and set the zoom to 100%, GIMP displays the document in real size.

Also Photoshop gives-me the option to manualy set the screen DPI, so, the same above mentioned, works in Photoshop.

But in KRITA, when i do the same, it shows the document about 88% of its real size. (I disabled the "show same aspect as pixels" toggle button)

From the calculation i've done, looks like KRITA is retrieving the system DPI (96 in my case), while GIMP retrieves the real screen DPI.

Wold be nice to have this option in KRITA. If that option already exists in KRITA, please point me to this and forgive-me by the pointless topic.

I think i'm using the latest Beta (2.8.90.2 x64), on Windows 8.1

Thanks for the team for this great application.

Actually, aspec pixels is a completely different feature for people who has odd monitors. Krita doesn't implement what you suggest... yet? I don't know how complex that would be.

What do you mean by ODD monitor? My monitor is a normal one 27" 16x9 2560x1440 resolution, so it has square pixels. I`m not getting image distortion. (a perfect circle showing up as an ellipse for example), if its what you are calling odd.

I`m not a programmer but I don think it should be so hard to implement since Krita already have two different zoom factors to the canvas.
The only thing that need to change is, instead of always using system DPI, it should use system DPI at first but allow an override setting that can be manually set.
Having it automatically detected as its done in GIMP would be great, but a manual override can do the trick.

Anyway that's far to be a critical issue, since I`m not getting any distortion as I stated first.

Also thanks for quick replying me

You could try to use the -dpiY and -dpiX commandline parameters, but on Windows, as far as I know, we don't even try to get the actual physical dpi, just the logical dpi that the paint engine uses. And that's complicated by Windows' desktop scaling which does really weird things that I haven't totally figured out.

Ok. That`s good enough for me. Working perfect. Thanks

I just created a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Krita (x64)\bin\krita.exe" --dpi 109,109, 109 is my display physical dpi
Never came to my mind to call Krita command line help.

Yes. Windows desktop scaling is weird even for end users

Oh, awesome, awesome! I'm so happy to know the options work -- I actually never tried them myself
