man, you other people are no help at all.


I hope you're kidding about that, cause several answers above are much
clearer than the one you provided.


and by the way, resolution on screen is rated in PIXELS per inch (ppi), not
dots (dpi), therefore you want your resolution set to 300ppi.


I'd ignore that statement. It is illogical as the two statements do
not belong in the same sentence. Just because you've added a
"therefore" does not make it true.

And I'll tell you why: the resolution of the monitor is usually about
72 to 96 ppi (divide the resolution you're running your monitor at by
the monitor's image area and you'll see).

So 300 ppi for a digital image has nothing to do with what the monitor
is displaying (unless you're designing web pages).

There's a much, much deeper reason for using 300 ppi for digital
images.
