Default Re: How to stop MS Paint changing resolution of files to 96 dpi?

Resolution is number of dots per inch. Pixel dimensions are the size in
pixels. They are different things.
If you think it is impossible, then try yourself, scan a A4 sheet with 600
dpi resolution to a 1bit tif and try to print it from Paint with 100% size
in the Page setup. Paint will print just 1/6 of the image.
I did not write about size on screen, but about size on a printed paper.
I do not want to "Select the print size", I want the Pain to print with the
original size stated in a tif.
