Is there any way for Krita to be able to display image at the True size based on the users monitors actual PPI resolution?
Clip studio has this setting where one can fine-tune so that artwork is displayed to the exact size. (see below screenshot).
When displaying the rulers in Krita for instance, the centimeters (or inches/millimeters, etc) do not measure when placing a ruler along side it.
If this isn’t currently possible to get this accuracy in displaying the image size on the monitor … could this feature be added?
You’ll find a button on the bottom-right of the interface (at the right of the slider for zooming in bottom toolbar). If you zoom at 100%, then press this button; you should view the real physical size of your artwork.
I’m on a ~110ppi monitor (or around, I don’t remember its density exactly) right now, and I just made a 10cm x 10cm canvas to check it at 100% with a ruler, and it was a success.
About setting the ppi of the monitor manually; I guess Krita (probably the Qt framework) try to auto-retrieve and calculate this information for you; modern monitors communicates their size and with the pixel grid in height and width, it’s possible to setup automatically a density (eg. I checked with xrandr on Linux, yes, it stores the physical size of the device: 2560x1440+0+0, 527mm x 296mm).
I saw such a GUI with a scale on Inkscape settings too for ppi. Maybe it helps when the auto guessing bugs (old CRTs monitors? Special monitors? Non standard monitors?).
Thanks for your feedback, but yeah unfortunately I tried that, but the size is not accurate.
My monitors PPI is 109ppi … and measurements are off, thus posting this.
That’s why the Clip Studio tool is perfect as it sets up accurate measurements … was hoping some way to achieve that in Krita
