I have been doing some fine trimming on web page designs, and wanted to know the exact dimensions of various parts of the page. I used Printscreen to capture the page, and then opened it as a new file in Photoshop. I found that if I set the resolution to 10 pixels per centimetre, and wound up the magnification to about 500% I could easily read off the precise location in pixels of any point on the page.
Unfortunately when I open a new page in Photoshop the resolution is always set to 72 pixels per inch, and I have to reset it to my desired value every time. I did some fossicking, and eventually found ‘New Document Preset Resolutions’ under Edit > Preferences > Units and Rulers. I set ‘Print resolution’ to 50 pixels per centimetre and ‘Screen resolution’ to 10. I thought this would do the trick, but when I open a new file it still comes up with Resolution 72 pixels per inch.
Is there a way of setting this resolution?
