I am searching all over the place to see if anyone elase has come across the following problem. I had images on my hard disk saved with a minimum of 300dpi. I have worked with them before, printed etc... I have come to look for one of my pics and when I found it, I find that it has been changed from a 300 dpi image to a 72 dpi. It has done this for all my images. I am trying to track what is causing this problem. I have loaded more images to the hard disk and they (so far) have remained at 300 dpi. I do not know exactly when this change occured but it seams rather strange to me. I am looking through all my logs (not the cut offs from trees) to try and pin point the problem and hopefully find a solution. In fact writing this now prompts me to look at my backup cds to check they are with the 300 dpi setting. I am using windows XP and have multiple image editing software. If anyone has come across this before, please let me know what happened and how you stopped it happening again. Also anyone else saving files on windows xp, you may want to check them to make sure nothing has changed!
