Re: [libreoffice-users] Creating High Res Images in Draw or Impress

I'll try to explain more clearly what I did (libreoffice 3.5.5:

1 - create your image or whatever in draw. I created a 5.3/5.3in image
2 - file -> export
3 - choose png (as you were talking about png initially; it might work the
same for other formats)
4 - in the next dialog, it show the good size (5.3/5.3) with 96 dpi. There,
you can put whatever you want, let's say 300dpi.

That's where you have to put *back* the size. If I put 300dpi, the size
shrink to 1,7in, BUT after this you can put back the original size, by
typing 5.3 again.
In the end, it produced a png file with 1593x1593 pixels with a resolution
of 300dpi, which would be printed at 5.3x5.3in

Here's a short video of the process, creating a 300dpi png of a 5.3in
drawing (5.3in == 13,46cm roughly). The drawing is exported, then opened in
gimp to show the image properties:
