guys you really have to understand there is NO difference, no matter what some stupid person or web site have told you, between 72 and 300 dpi (etc) - a pixel is a pixel...hahaha168;
However, for kerning etc (with pixel images), it might be favourable to render text in different resolutions to get the best quality.

If it could ever go to print (such as a logo) create it in 300dpi (or vector better yet). If it's just for the web - 72dpi is fine.

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."

The difference is in the text. Type any font at 300dpi and zoom out, and then type it at 72. There's a major difference. I design at 300dpi, export the JPG, and then resize.

I stay in 72 but 10x the design. If it calls for 700x900 I do the design in 7000x9000 and merge layers then resize before chopping it up.

Maybe a different DPI would have the same effect but I find that text in the designs comes out so much smoother this way.
