Crop and not change DPI

[vascott1]

Hello. I am trying to crop images but not change the DPI.. Whgat I am seeing is an image is 200dpi and then after I perform the crop, the cropped output is 72 dpi.. My code looks like this...

my $imageCrop = $image->Clone();

$imageCrop->Crop( $pixelsWide . "x" . $pixelsHigh . "+" . abs($pixelsLeft) . "+" . abs($pixelsTop) );

$result = $imageCrop->Write("$TempDir$file");

This is having a huge impact for my process so any help would be appreicated.

Thanks, Scott.

I had this issue generating gif images. Any other format, jpeg, etc., should work fine.

nothing you do is changing the DPI resolution of the images. Perhaps the image file format does not allow it?
