In a current project, I have a simple error: I created a 144 dpi image where it have to be 72 dpi.

I wasted my time seeking where the error lies and at last I found it !

I use a template image that I feed with other data and save it to disk. The result is a 144 pdi image !

After pulling my hair, drinking whiskey and other stuff, I finally found where the error lies.

The template file resolution is 144 dpi !!!

So, if you have troubles with generated images, check the template file resolution !

I have 25 template files to change their resolution … (in the mean time, I set it in the code before saving the generated image).
