Image widths

[Ron Dowd]

Hi,

Just want to check that I understand "Maximum Image Width" & "Maximum Image Height" in Configurations.

For publishing to Kindle ("Epub Configuration") I've left these set to -1, and my actual images have widths of 800px.

Now as well, I'm publishing as a 6" x 9" paperback ("KPD Print Configuration") and reckon I need to replace these images with 1600px width (to give about a 300dpi resolution for the printed book).

So, I've done this and now get tips such as the following (when publishing "KPD Print Configuration");

TIP (Jutoh): large image found (4.1 megapixels) in document a larger land (a-larger-land-cover-1600x2560.jpg).

I assume the solution is to:

• leave Max Width / Height at -1 for the "KDP Print configuration" and ignore the tips
  
• and for the "Epub Configuration", set Max Width to 800 (which will resize the images back to 800 width for me for this configuration?)
  

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Ron,

Max width/height in an image (as opposed to configurations) directly translate to max-width and max-height in CSS but unfortunately Kindle ebooks support neither. For ODT/Kindle Print, the max size will be used to constrain the actual size if it's larger than the max size, but as per Epub, these are instructions for rendering and don't involve resampling the actual image.

Using higher resolution images in the print book makes sense so your settings look perfect. If you want to eliminate the image size warning, you can edit the threshold via Preferences/Advanced/Large images warning threshold.

Regards,

Julian
