hi i use paint shop pro quite often and have recently noticed the
(pixel per inch) ppi is only 72 on every photo i have taken with my
a80. anyone know why? is it the software reducing ppi?

72 ppi is a computer screen standard (I think it is based on an early
Macintosh). So, if you are sending pictures via email, 72 ppi is about all
one needs. Unfortunately, this default confuses us as some software assumes
it. Mostly, it can be ignored for other purposes such as printing,
archiving, etc.
