Preview.app ignores "Image DPI" when scaling
In 10.4 Tiger, Preview.app did the right thing and would print images according to what would be their correct and natural size. For instance, if I scanned a document at 200dpi, and it was 934px wide, Preview.app would print it to paper so that it was 4.67in wide. This is correct behavior.
It knows that the JPG I'm printing is 200dpi because that information is in the JFIF block. You can see this by hitting Cmd-I when viewing a .JPG and looking at the JFIF information.
10.3 was broken in this manner, it would just try to print as many pixels as it could on the printer, or scale it to take up the size of the whole page.
Apparently 10.5 Leopard does the same thing as 10.3--it won't print a document the right size. When I choose Scale: 100% the print size is much bigger than 8.5x11 when it should fit in 4.67in. The other options are scale to the size of the page.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a regression?
Thanks!
