Just as a point of additional information, it doesn't matter to your web 
browser what DPI the image is set up.    Web browsers don't deal with 
DPI.    Computer monitors don't deal with dots per inch or pixels per 
inch.   My 17" monitor can be set to several resolutions from 640x480 up to 
1600x1200.    In the old days of the original mac, it happened that 72 dpi 
was the fixed resolution on that screen and some people figured out if they 
wanted a 2" photo, they could scale it with a DPI, but today with no one 
running the same resolutions on the same sized screens, its 100% meangless.

You could set it to 1 dpi and it wouldn't matter.   DPI only affects print 
size, nothing more.


Thanks,
Rob
