On many formats there is size in pixels (i.e. 720×480) normally refer to screen pictures and a size in inches that is used for printing, and is in many times determined by the scanned resolution. Your Mac artist is used to the paper size so that is why he is talking about dots per centimeter. Unfortunetly, most artist (specially Mac artists) are ignorant of anything else other their world and they refuse to talk any other language. I say this by experience and not to be disrespectful to anyone. In reality you should not need to do anything other than giving him the file in a format that he can read (if he had PhotoShop even IFF would be acceptable). Since, he should have all the tools to converted to whatever he needs. But all I have found is that doing anything other than changing their routine leads to disastrous results. Now what you need to do find out what size should it be printed at. I will try to extract the stuff I used when we had to convert video images in the past and I will post them here. (Is not a program but notes on what to do and in what order) By the way, YES I meant 72 dpi like your laser printer is 600DPI but another thing you are forgetting is your laser printer is 600dpi x 2 (2 colors black or white) while the Mac screens are 72dpi x 256-2mil (256 colors to 2 million, depending if is 8 or 24 bit card, from a palette of 2 million). The toaster in "Mac talk" would be (when shown in a 13" monitor) a 72 dpi screen. But because it has tons of colors froma palette of 2 million that is why you don't see the BIG pebbles. In addition the images are antialiased (that is the colors do not change very rapidely). Anyways, that is a long topic by itself. I will see what I can do. Eduard Joseph
