GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 498579
Image is out of bounds
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:05:08 UTC
Please describe the problem: When opening images, GIMP may complain that the image resolution is "out of bounds. Using default resolution instead. " Please make GIMP auto-adjust, we DO NOT want to change the dpi setting just because of this. http://iyeru42.ryan444123.com/images/bug.jpg Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the file mentioned in the description to get an error dialog box. Actual results: An error dialog occurs reporting the image resolution is "out of bounds. Using default image resolution." Expected results: No error dialog box, the image manipulator should have set the resolution automatically. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
There is no way GIMP can adjust to an image which has a broken resolution setting. You should get the tool fixed that created these images. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 485021 ***
It's not a broken resolution, it's a mismatch of dots per inch.
This file has a resolution of 0 dpi. That is broken, as far as I can see. GIMP informs you about the problem and tells you that it fixed if for you by using the default resolution instead.
Photoshop gives no error, and says the image is 72 dpi.
jpeginfo -i bug.jpg also reports 0 dpi. Photoshop probably does what GIMP does but is silent about it which I consider to be evil.
This could of course be a bug in libjpeg but I don't find that very likely.
