Any recommendations for software that will convert a high resolution
digital photo to 72 dpi? I know about Adobe Photoshop, but am
wondering if there is something less expensive out there.

Thanks.

Just download small application called Irfanview (you can download only
main installer without plugins),
unmark "google toolbar" during installation, open the file you want to
convert,
next press  <I>  key (or go to <image> and choose <information> panel),
write the resolution and click on <change>. To change the size press
<ctrl>+<R> (got to <image> and choose <resize>. You can go to <File>
and <Batch conversion> when you have to change more files.
IrfanView is freeware.

I downloaded this, and, following your diections above, was able to
change the dpi to 72, but am still sruggling with this. The images on
screen are HUGE, how do I know what size to reduce them to -- I reduced
them in pixels, to lowest, and that cut it some, but what about linear
dimensions? These are going to be downloaded for IPod usage.

Also, am I correct in assuming that changes are made to the original, so
I should work with that? I've just been working with some throw- away
pix so far.

I think you may be confusing some issues. Most 'on screen' apps I'm
familiar with don't even consider DPI - they work with pixels. They either
scale the image to fit the screen or they display all the pixels and allow
you to scroll. Do you want to resample the image and reduce the total
resolution so it fits on some reasonable screen size such as 800x600?- Hide quoted text -

The site's photo requirements are 72 dpi and 720x480 pixels. Irfanview
will let me do 72 dpi, but not change the pixels to that. 640x480 is
one of its settings, but it will not let me change manually to the
other.
