[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 89429, member: 8705"] At the risk of repeating myself, DPI is only relevant in telling a printer how big you want the print. Take a 300dpi image and get Lightroom to output it as jpg. Then export a second version and set it at 72dpi. Same MB output files! This is because they are identical apart from a metadata tag that the printer would read. I struggled with DPI until I spent some time working out what it means and on your screen it is the pixels wide X pixels high that determine what the image looks like. If I have got his completely wrong, somebody please tell me, but whenever I have verified the theory it is spot on. [/QUOTE]
