what dpi resolution are you working at?

I don't know how in the world you're experiencing such a problem that you can't possibly control it!?

When you do as Save for Web under photoshop save it as jpeg and test with different compression ratios.

You must realize that most of the editing of pictures and banners etc for online use is done with Photoshop.

The problem is not the software but it is you sorry buddy.

Sorry but what you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

dpi = dots per inch.
Web graphics or printed page there is always going to be some form of resolution involved.
I think you can also express it in pixels per inch of some other rubbish but using dpi's is the standard.


If he was say working in 10 dpi versus 300 dpi he would notice a pixelisation of his text after he types it.


For web graphics design the standard is 72 dpi.

yeah nous right

Originally posted by Nou No. dpi varies from monitor to monitor, your going to have a whole lot less dpi on a 20inch monitor running 800x600 then you are on a monitor thats 17inches running 1600x1200. 72 is standard yes, but when designing for the web DPI has nothing to do with it, unless you are weird and design your pages in inches and not pixels... Example, in photoshop, make a 1000x1000 pixel image and then change the DPI setting, it dosnt change the file size at all because pixel settings are an absolute value.

So you're implying that when designing web graphics they should not be in 72 dpi?

What else do you think is better?

You are mentionning screen dpi's which have nothing to do with what I was discussing.

When creating a web graphic you set the size in pixels yes and as a standard you set the dpi at 72 sometimes a 100.... but it shouldn't go up.
I wasn't suggesting anyone should be working in inches when doing wbe graphics

Originally posted by Nou if your working in pixels DPI has NOTHING, NADA, ZIP to do with resolution because it in itself is a unit of resolution. Changing dpi when you work in pixel measurements does NOTHING.

So you're suggesting 72 dpi as a standard in web graphics is bogus?

Go do a search on google for 72 dpi web graphics and read up


There will be more pixels in a 100X300 pixels 300 dpi graphic then a 100X300 72 dpi graphic. There is a difference.

My friend what u need is, Swish Max!
