>> now by changing the dpi from 400 to 96, say… this would in theory make the file smaller ? but should not be any different on the screen when I'm looking at it I guess. (if the image is very good to begin with) << You got it! There will be a difference in detail, but depending on what level of quality you need, you might not notice it. Take some scanned photo of a babe-in-heat from one of 'those other services' and notice a strand of her hair… now reduce the dpi by one half (like from 150dpi to 75dpi) and look at that hair again. That will tell you what happens when the resolution of an image is decreased. (If you're a nice young man and don't have any images like I suggested in my lesson above, then use an image with writing or lettering on it. I don't want to feel like I might be soiling an innocent mind!) All the best! Sean
