YARGH!

"It does not matter to screen or web page if you store 72 dpi there, or 7 dpi there or even 7200 dpi there. It simply does not matter what it says there, because on the screen, that number is ignored. The original correct number is no better on the screen, it only affects printing, on paper, where inches exist.
Even Adobe has problem to understand that. Or they give us what we want, as when saved for the web, Photoshop automatically sets the resolution to 72dpi even if it is meaningless and has no effect in any way on the image or what you see. The numbers affects only the future printing resolution and size? My advise is that you take control yourself! The mythical "72" dpi was maybe fairly accurate once on a PC 14 inch 640x480 VGA display, but way off an 17 1280x1024 inch monitor which might have a resolution of 96dpi."
