Re: Image does not report the same resolution at which it is scanned.




Drats! Sorry, my serious miswording error ruined the entire point ....
Should have said:

Bottom line, video screens are dimensioned in pixels, and digital images
are dimensioned in PIXELS. Paper is the exception, being dimensioned in
inches, and so printing on paper needs dpi to size the image right. But
once you read your image into video memory, all you have is pixels.
