[Gimp-user] At 100%, my selection hasn't the size it should have

Ok here is the actual size of the image : 1173 x 2051 pixels
Printing size is : 413.81mm * 723.55 mm
And I want 201.6mm * 351mm


(413.81/201.6) * 72 = 147.789 ppi
(723.55 / 351) * 72 = 148.42 ppi

(the difference is probably due to some shooting deformation. But if I apply the
first result to the height, then the height is not perfectly good)


I think I was wrong in my last post when I wrote that the first method does not
change the scale of the image. Because changing the number of pixels of an
image, changes the scale of it, right ?
On the other hand, the method consisting in changing the ppi is not changing the
scale of the image, but the printing size.

I hope I get it. I really know nothing about images and I realise how confused
is my mind
