Hi Art,

Here's a test I did...

I take a graphic that has a resolution to 96 dpi. I make a copy and set the resolution of that copy to 300 dpi in SnagIt. I import both copies into Frame. When importing the "96 dpi graphic" I choose to import it at 300 dpi. When importing the "300 dpi graphic" I leave the dpi setting as 300 dpi. Now I print the Frame document. Both graphics appear identical on the printout despite one graphic file having a lower resolution set for it.

From these observations I deduce that the resolution of a graphic file is simply a way to tell the program what size it should print at by default (though you can change this) and that having a higher resolution set for the file does not mean that the final printed graphic is really any better quality. As I said before and Van confirmed changing the DPI of a graphic does not change the actual pixels, so the behavior I am now seeing in this print test is actually what I would expect. What am I missing?
