DPI, or Dots Per Inch, is a photography and printing term. Essentially a pixel on any screen does not equal to a dot on a printed document. The resolution and detail of a print wouldn’t look good if you used a 72 DPI upload on a 300 DPI print. The end result is either pixelated or blurry images. You can’t just scale an image up either, detail can’t just be easily made. It’s a big problem in the design and print industries. A lot of people fight with their clients to upload the correct images. Any image from the web just won’t do. DPIorDIE to the rescue.
This plugin was designed to filter out images based on the DPI of an image only a specific type of user can upload, “Uploader”. It reads the EXIF data to get the horizontal and vertical DPI for now…
