Think of the ink and paper they > waste on the first attempt... Brian My answer was aimed at PhotoShop users. On PS 5.0 9999.99 dpi was the biggest value it would let me enter ;o) I've not tried editing a bmp/jpg/tiff directly yet to manually set the resolution Tag to a bigger value In a windows bmp file resolution is coded as an unsigned long (PelsPerMeter - whatever pels are). Does 2^32 PelsPerMeter get close to pixels per parsec? Doubt it. Think you are stuffed. hahahah - maybe I could set them to zero and see if PS can handle the "by zero" error when it tries to print ;o) Don't know what the numerical limits of the res. tag are in other file formats - Bob _______________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime, only £13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!
