Effective PPI location in Illustrator 22.0.1

[rmcdonaldshpa]

In previous versions, a linked image in Illustrator would display the colour space and effective PPI in the top bar. Now that there's the 'all-in-one' Properties panel in the new version, I can't find the effective PPI of an image.

Is there somewhere else in the program I can find that information now?

maybe the answers here can help

Activate the Control bar: Window > Control

to see the info.

You can find that in properties, but you need to click on Linked File, then flip down the arrow on the bottom left.

my god thats hella convoluted.

[Ton Frederiks]

Yes, that's a lot of clicks,it's easier to just look in the Control Bar.

It's not convoluted except for through the Properties panel, and it's consistent with how the Properties panel lets you "drill down" for more detail on whatever's selected without having to open other panels. The Appearance panel has worked the same way for years. But both Properties and Appearance aren't the only ways to get that info, just alternate ways.

We haven’t lost any options. You can display the Control panel and look at the PPI value there, you can leave the Links panel open and expanded (button highlighted in green below) and look at the PPI value there, or, as the picture shows, you can keep both PPI displays open all the time if you want. Either way, you just open it once, then no more clicks needed.

The confusion comes up because the Control panel got hidden by default after the Properties panel was introduced. But because the Control panel wasn’t removed, only hidden, all you have to do is show it again.

None of the answers so far have really answered the OP's question. 

The question was about EFFECTIVE PPI, which is different than PPI. 

• PPI is the native PPI of a placed image
• Effective PPI is the native PPI of the place image divided by the scale that it was placed at

Example: if I place a 300 ppi image, and scale it up to 200%, I've divided the PPI in half, giving me an effective PPI of 150 ppi.

Yes, all of the answers give the correct information.

Those places show the effective PPI.

Okay, then this is just one of many examples where Adobe doesn't use consistent verbiage across their apps. Because InDesign gives both Actual PPI and Effective PPI.

"Example: if I place a 300 ppi image, and scale it up to 200%, I've divided the PPI in half, giving me an effective PPI of 150 ppi. "

Have a look at the Control bar when you do this.

@Ton Frederiks & @monmonmonmon — agreed, now that I see what you are talking about. 

Unfortunately, I can't see any way to either edit, or delete, my post.
