    ..when you finally get the PSD file you've been asking for so you can try and work out the mess at their end, to receive a file with only one layer.

    • and it's 72dpiPhanLo
    • *changes file extension to .psd

    • Ah yes, the vector pdf switcharooGnash
    • "Logo" drawn in Paint at 72dpi and inserted in a Word file, I winOBBTKN
    • 72dpi does not mean anything, the px dimensions define how large your artwork isSimonFFM
    • I remember long ago when various clients would send me images in a Word doc...spl33nidoru
    • 72dpi 300x300 pixels Simon.PhanLo
    • 72dpi does mean something when the file doesn't state what res it's working at (looking at you, PNG)Nairn
    • @PhanLo 300x300 is quite small (you could call it a large thumbnail)SimonFFM
    • "large" would be generous in 99% of casesimbecile
    • Pick your clients wiselycanoe
    • Some people think the only way to send an image is within a Word doc. That cracks me up.monospaced
    • I usually end up digging through the client's old annual report PDFs online till I find one with a vector logo.evilpeacock
    • 300x300px@72dpi contains as much information as 300x300px@300dpi. Only when you print it, your 72dpi image would be 4.16inch wide and your 300dpi image is 1inchmekk
    • @evilpeacock - oh yes, i know that well. Time spent Googling for PDF and extracting content - 5 minutes, tops.
      Time spent waiting for client?
