hmmm yeah, good point zh. LMo... is DPI the same as pixel (why don't I know if dots per inch is the pixel size???) I should go google this, but since there are parameters on the site (request to self govern) I need to know how to figure it out... when I go choosing pics to use here for any reason. I was hoping someone could tell me. I am able to find the answer.... sigh was just hoping it was a quicker fix than that.

DPI refers to the picture resolution.
Pixels don't have any standard "size" of the unit.

For print output: Multiply your desired output size by the optimal output resolution your printer needs. For example, if your printer manual says that the printer does its best work when an image has an output resolution of 300 ppi (pixels per inch), and you want a final print size of 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall, you need 1200 pixels horizontally and 1800 pixels vertically.

• For screen display: Match the pixel count to the amount of screen real-estate you want the picture to consume. Remember that a monitor uses one screen pixel to display each image pixel. So on a monitor set to a screen resolution of 800 x 600, an image that's 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall fills the screen.
