[QUOTE="davidlones365, post: 1261834, member: 205512"] The [URL="http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html"]article[/URL] you provided at times seems to agree that what I'm trying to do is an appropriate use of ppi/dpi... presenting an image at "actual size" on the screen and in print. ("[URL="http://www.scantips.com/no72dpib.html"]Approximate Actual Size On the Screen[/URL]" section) Yet, in its summery, it seems to dismiss that example??? I'm aware that the video system ignores ppi data, relying only on the given pixels, but its rather obvious that the software providing those pixels CAN and often DOES recognize pixel density and it would be stupid not to put that into consideration. ...this quote does a good job of summarizing my example, but again, it confuses the basic points. If I take a screenshot of my screen, I expect the saved image to include all correct data available about the shot, including screen size (as pixel density). [/QUOTE]
