    DPI becomes relevant if you're working on digital publications, using the tools from Adobe, Woodwing, Mag+, etc. The layout work for these publications is usually done in InDesign, so a pixels-to-pixels workflow isn't really feasible. Yes, the iPad 3's resolution is much higher than the first two generations. But the canvas size, whether measure in inches, points, or whatever (again, if you're thinking in terms of pages) remains the same. So, your images in the particular instance of a digital publication created with InDesign will need to be 264 DPI.

    • To design 1:1 (e.g. using 10 pt type that will appear that size in the app), the resolution must be raised.gramme
    • Even if it's output at 2048x1496 / 72 dpi.gramme
