Created attachment 128037 [details] Example of a Photoshop Elements jpg file I use Photoshop Elements to edit photos and other pictures, since LibreOffice is not meant for this kind of work, as is pointed out in the manuals. Inserting a jpg file produced by Photoshop Elements however is always a pain, LibreOffice assumes the 96dpi resolution setting of my screen, and the picture usually has a 300dpi resolution setting. So I always get the wrong size of the picture, very annoying. I recently inserted a jpg file from another source, and was amazed to see it had the right size, and LibreOffice reported a 360dpi resolution setting. So it seems LibreOffice doesn't understand the resolution settings in the JPG file headers produced by Photoshop Elements. I assume this is a general problem in LibreOffice, but for the record I'm experiencing the problem in Writer, and I'm using Photoshop Elements 14 on Windows 10 64 bit. I have attached an example file.
Do you by any chance use this in PS Elements: File > Export > Export As > JPG Just found this thread about Export losing metadata as it is still a work in progress feature: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2097485
No, I've never used the export function, I only use the File > Save as function. When I open the example file again, it will show me the correct 300 dpi resolution, so the resolution information is in the file header.
Ok. I confirmed.

Not much progress on solving this problem? It has to do with the way the headers of the file are handled. The proper information is there, but Libreoffice can't find it so to speak. Should be too difficult to fix......
should = shouldn't of course :-)
Well, I don't know how to help.. maybe get involved in your local community https://www.facebook.com/libreofficenl/ (events etc.) and finally bribe some local developer with beers to fix it.
I'm not saying you have to do this, but I suppose their are people responsible for this part of Libreoffice. I assume people or groups of people are responsible for certain parts of Libreoffice, in this case the handling of graphics.

Responsibility only arises, if someone makes an offer to pay for a fix and a company accepts the offer.
This is not a minor problem, this is a big problem. I found another bug report from 2012 where the same problem is reported. This problem prevents you from producing high quality documents. When a photograph has been edited with something like photoshop or an other similar program, you can not enter it in a Writer document in high resolution. Preparing books etc. becomes impossible!! It is a minor problem for someone who has knowledge on graphics. Please fix it!!

Created attachment 137697 [details] dpi information in header
I have added two information windows of IrFanView, showing detailed information about a jpg picture. The difference between the two is the the dpi setting, and the resulting change in print size in cm / inch. The picture itself wasn't changed at all, just the dpi setting. The problem is that Writer doesn't always understand the dpi setting, and replaces it by the dpi setting of the screen, resulting in a picture with the wrong size in the document. Changing the size of the picture in Writer will result in a low resolution picture, and that is not the intention.
I don't mind if this bug is marked as a duplicate, but when I added a comment in the other bug, no one reacted. When I changed something here, I did get reactions.
