HI Judah

thanks for your kind help
I am a novice..I have been into the manipulated image so many times and willy nilly changed the dpi the mm 
size ...
sometimes the file says it 7GB size..sometimes it says its 300 dpi...sometimes the program hangs and 
collapses...but mostly nothing changes...obviously I am not doing the right thing.

I need personal help from someone whom knows gimp intimately...I have been paid handsomely for the image yet 
cannot get it done...I would pay a GIMP expert to assist of course..

Judah is 96 dpi = 96 ppi

ok I tried to create a new file...200cmx 140cm but i cant see an import feature for the Gimp image
