Er, no. (for the second time in this thread. :-)) Dot and pixel are not one and the same. A pixel can be made of several dots of different colours, while a dot is always only one colour. So, if you have 300 dots per inch, you have roughly four times the data you have with 72 dots per inch. And that's the reason why simply increasing the resolution* from 72dpi to 300dpi in an image processing program ends badly. The program interpolates by its own calculations and puts in what you didn't intend to be there. * (rant) That is resolution. 1024x768 are dimensions. (rant)
