Re: [PRODIG] weird 72 ppi problem

[Clive Bubley]

A computer monitor can ONLY display at 72ppi (Mac) or 96ppi(PC)- that 
is the limitation of all current mainstream monitors - you are 
governed by the physical size of the phosphor dots or LCD pixels. 
That is why your 300ppi image is being shown at an enormous size: the 
bit you can see is at 72 or 96ppi and if you want to see other areas 
of it you have to scroll around. If your client wants to display your 
300ppi images on a normal monitor then you will have to supply an 
image that fits her particular screen size, but at 72 or 96 ppi.

Think image size in pixels rather than centimeters or inches: it 
doesn't hurt the brain so much <g>

Good luck!

I sent a client viewing jpegs on a cd at 240 ppi, they opened at 72 
ppi her end.
So I emailed jpegs at 300 ppi, they are opening up as 72 ppi her end.
I have now emailed a tiff at 300 ppi and it has opened correctly at 300 ppi.

I am generating the files in C1 Pro at 300 ppi and they open in ps 7 
as the correct 300 ppi my end.

 The client is opening in PS 5 and quark 4 , PS 5 shows them as 72 
ppi, Quark opens them as 72 ppi (judging from the vast physical size 
and calculating back down).  Is it me? Or if its the clients end has 
anybody got any idea what is going on?
