    this comes up a lot and it's a pet peeve of mine. people misunderstand what dpi is...

    here we have an image at 72.009 dpi..

    and the same image at 1 dpi..

    and once again the same image at 12000 dpi...

    dpi only matters when an image is printed.

    • you are resampling the image though.johndiggity
    • it's just meta data, you can open an image in a hex editor and change itacescence
    • you probably had to save for web to make these and that would make them 72 px/inch which is native screen res. Not 72.009px/inch which would make a 1 px line look pixelated apparently.kld
    • 72.009 which looks pixelated on screen.kld
    • I invite you to download the images, open in PS, and see for yourselfacescence
