I think I didn't explain it correctly. I'm sorry, English isn't my mother language.
Digital images don't have a native dpi they come at. You change the dpi in your graphics software, prior to printing. An 1600 x 1200 image is a 1600 x 1200 image, no matter what. When you are going to print it, you decide the output resolution (dpi). As I said in the example, a 1600 x 1200 pixels image will be 21.33x16 inches when you set it at 72 dpi.
The same 1600x1200 image will be 5.33x4 inches if you set it at 300 dpi.
It doesn't matter what kind of image it is, if it was taken with a digital camera or created in a software package. They are still pixels.
And it doesn't matter what dpi they choose to save them at, the pixel dimensions is what matters, since you can change the dpi the same way, as I explained above.
