Hi there. I’m not currently a Photoshop owner or user. I am currently using Corel Photopaint, but I have a big problem.
I use the bitmaps as a source for a weaving program. I need to be able to us different DPI veticaly and horizontaly, since the number of yarns that are inserted horizontaly and veritcaly is not the same. It goes in a 1 : 2.06 ratio. This distortions the image and makes it hard to work for designers.
The question is:
I make the bitmap with a vertical resolution of 100 dpis and a horizontal one of 205 dpis. Will Photoshop be able to visualize correctly the image? That is, my pixel wont be squared, it will be rectangular.

Photoshop CS can handle your problem. It can use different Pixel Ratios, or "Non-square pixels" as they are called in the program. You can even create a custom ratio of 1:2.06 for your specific use.

And yes, Photoshop will be able to correctly visualize it, but it may look rather… interesting on screen. 😉 I am not sure if it will print out with that aspect ratio in place, though… I have only used it for video, and never tried printing.
