### 6.37. Image Properties

The “Image Properties” command opens a window that shows lots of different information for the image.

#### 6.37.1. Activating the Command

- You can access this command from the main menu through Image → Image Properties,

- or by using the keyboard shortcut Alt+Return.

#### 6.37.2. Options

The properties window is divided into three tabs.

##### 6.37.2.1. “Properties” tab

Figure 16.82. “Properties” tab

Size in pixels

  Shows the image height and width in pixels, that is, the physical size of the image.

Print size

  Shows the size the image will have when it is printed, in the current units. This is the logical size of the image. It depends upon the physical size of the image and the screen resolution.

Resolution

  Shows the print resolution of the image.

  | Note
  The default resolution unit used may depend on the type of image you imported. PNG images that have a resolution set, are known to be imported with the unit set to metric, meaning you will see pixels/mm here in that case. See also Section 6.23, “Print Size”.

Color space

  Shows the image's color space.

Precision

  Shows the precision of the image's encoding.

  See also Section 6.7, ““Encoding” Submenu”.

File name

  Path and name of the file that contains the image.

File size

  Size of the file that contains the image.

File type

  Format of the file that contains the image.

Size in memory

  RAM consumption of the loaded image including the images journal. This information is also displayed in the image window. The size is quite different from the size of the file on disk. That is because the displayed image is decompressed and because GIMP keeps a copy of the image in memory for Redo operations.

Undo steps

  Number of actions you have performed on the image, that you can undo. You can see them in the Undo History dialog.

Redo steps

  Number of actions you have undone, that you can redo.

Number of pixels, Number of layers, Number of channels, Number of paths

  Well counted!

##### 6.37.2.2. “Color profile” tab

##### 6.37.2.3. “Comments” tab

This tab allows you to view and edit a comment for the image.
