Adrian,

I believe you are confusing a few things. When you import a bitmapped image and CHANGE the dpi to something other than that of the bitmap, you are indeed scaling the image, hence the 208%. Changing the dpi in Frame is not the same as changing the dpi in an image editing program. Setting the dpi in Frame tells Frame to scale the image so that it displays at X dpi in the Frame document; thus, a 200 dpi image set at 96 dpi is scaled by 208% to display at 96 dpi. So, Frame is behaving as it should.

You can also import at 200 dpi, then check the object properties of the image. It should have the same width and height (in inches, say) as it does in IE or other image editing program.

You also said, "After import the graphic looks the same in Frame as when opened in IE or any graphics program and viewing at 100%."

What do you mean be "looks the same as"? If you mean each pixel in the original is there in Frame, then everything is OK. If you mean the physical dimensions (say, width and height in inches) are the same, then that is probably meaningless, because 100% in Frame and 100% in IE may not mean the same thing, that is, the two programs may not display the image with the same PHYSICAL dimensions on the screen.

Hope this clears things up. If not, maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying.
