[magick-users] resize an image in centimeters?

[pere roca ristol]

  thanks for the answer, but it doesn't fit my needs, as resample changes
the number of pixels (resolution) of the image, not the size. I want to keep
my 1480x740 pixels, but in 3x1,5 inches image (it means, 480 dpi). I have
used "convert -density 480x480 x  y"  to force IM to resize the image (not
in pixels but the printing size). Now identify says...

  Geometry: 1480x740+0+0
  Resolution: 480x480
  Print size: 3.08333x1.54167

  That's what I need (original resolution was 72x72, even with 1480x740) but
when I add this image to OpenOffice it appears as 6x3 inches (that's the
double of Print size), as if it were still in 72x72 resolution.

  I hope I make me understand.

  thanks,

  Pere
