This one was set to 1 (one) DPI and saved. See any difference? For web/monitor output, it's not the DPI that sets the size ... it's the resolution. You can use the DPI setting to do your resizing, but it's not as precise. If I bring my photos in from my EOS 10D at 300dpi and resample them to 72dpi they go from 3076x2052 to 738x492. However someone with a ~4megapixel camera doing the same thing would go from a 2272x1704 image to 545x409. It's that whole non-standard standard thing rearing its head. Sorry if that was long winded ... like I said, it's a pet peeve of mine. Drives me crazy for some reason. -=>Donald
