I sat here for a bit trying to understand what you were explaining - and then it hit me - and you're dead right! the monitor resolution determines how the image is going to be displayed (a 4x6 image at 200 DPI is going to look the same as an 8 x 12 at 100 dpi - they're both 800 x 1200 pixels) - and the monitor, pretty much set at a "72 dpi setting" will resize the image to look the same in either case...?
