[QUOTE="davidlones365, post: 1260018, member: 205512"] My Mac (I assume all Mac's, and most computers in general) always takes screen shots at 72 ppi... why is this? Also, it seems 72 ppi is the default pixel density for most image editing software. Again, WHY??? NO display today still uses 72 ppi and I'm pretty sure printers print at 300 ppi/dpi (whatever). Doesn't this seem counter-intuitive when it comes to the image size? I'm not much in to professional photography or graphics design, but from what little I've done this seems like a serious issue! Regardless, I still need to take screen shots at my displays native pixel density... or I at least need to somehow change the default. [/QUOTE]
