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?

On the forum at Jasc for Photography and Scrapbook this Resolution topic for
printing often occurs. The following is a response by a Jasc representative
Kris K. The person posting was asking about sizing his image in order to
take it to a printing service to get a 4 * 6 result.

RESOLUTION
If in PSP you do Image Resize and change the resolution ("Resample Using"
unchecked) the resolution value is changed the normal image data and also
in the EXIF header if present.

If you don't want the number of pixels in the image to change,please 'don't
check' - "Resample Using"- option. When this option is 'not checked' you
change only the' resolution'. As you change the resolution the size of the
image in physical units is modified to reflect the new resolution but the
size in pixels does not change.


When you open an image into PSP for editing it is not in 'any' format. The
image is a device independent bitmap. When you change the image and save it
you choose the format in which you wish it to be saved. If you choose a
lossless compression format such as PSP, TIFF or PNG there will be no JPEG
compression. If you choose the JPEG format the image will be compressed as
if it were being created for the first time. PSP has no way to know if the
image you are saving was, for instance, opened and then filled with
completely new data or opened and changed in a minor way.
Consequently all saving is done as if you were dealing with a newly created
image.
