DPI: This seems to confuse a lot of people. Please remember that DPI = "Dots Per Inch". This is used for output devices such as printers, and defines how many dots are used per inch; higher numbers = more resolution = cleaner picture. On a monitor, however, the Dots Per Inch is equal to Pixels Per Inch - and that's FIXED for the combination of monitor and screen resolution you are using (usually somewhere between 75-100 pixels per inch). Increasing DPI past this won't help at all :-)) Some useful links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch http://www.sphoto.com/homedd/main.html http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/intermediate/a/measure_dpi.htm Hope this helps.
