I dunno. I just did it again and it was still that size.

Yup. Exactly what I get.
don't forget that ppi (dpi in PS lingo) is utterly irrelevant, however, if
Emily is opening it in PS and saving it, she could have default settings
set such that it resizes to say 300 ppi - and photoshop has a VERY weird
and uniquely photoshopish way of handling ppi (dpi)..
it's probably resized the image to 300/72 x (1080x700)
I'm trying to be a professional. I don't let PS do much for me. No,
I don't have PS resizing upon opening. I have actions that do that.
And no, I never tried to resave, so I never found out what the amount
of compression on the original file was.
