I'm confused then... How does the software generate sizes at all? It knows how many pixels are in the image, because it mentions that along the bottom of the window. How does it interpret 906 pixels as being nearly 38 inches?
I was also just using the 'exported' image as an example. The real problem was when I went to Staples and printed everything, only to realise it was printing as if the design was 38 inches instead of 30cm. All of the pieces were huuuuuge. Good news is now I'll be able to print them off on my home printer, on 8,5 by 11 paper! Woop woop!
I went through and made sure that all of my previous works were the right size, and it was interesting that the larger images that I imported were usually closer. However, the sizes varied ~10cm larger and smaller, with no clear reason why some would be bigger and others smaller.
I understand why the PPI resolution isn't there, it likely won't ever *be* anything other than 72 ppi for most people using the program, and most people don't really need to see and potentially get confused by it.
If the software is just pulling numbers out of the air, I'd rather they weren't suggested at all. I assumed that they had looked at the picture, and had it be the same dimensions as the picture, since they were automatically generated.
I hope you spend your free time doing whatever it is that makes you happy, because none of us ever seem to have enough of it! Ultimately, I was able to make a pattern that I hope I am actually capable of making, so I was able to use the program. And free is a much better price than 200$ for something I can't even try a demo of!
