That's the thing, exactly, and possibly my biggest pet peeve in all the world and its higher orbit. When asking for a certain resolution, one should NECESSARILY ALSO ask for dimensions. A 600dpi image at 1 inch per side is ALSO a 300dpi image at 2 inches per side. Same thing! So, maybe Marilyn could ask - because they seem oblivious that they should be asking this themselves - how many pixels along each side do they want. Then they can resolve or resolute the image at any size they want. As a somewhat related anecdote, an important company opened a photo contest a while ago and they asked the photos to be sent somewhere along the lines of "1200 pixels long, 6 Megabytes JPG file". For the love of Ron, what do megabytes have to do with anything? I tried for weeks and couldn't ever match such a specification. I tried with very light and very dark images. I even considered photographing horrible things! (the uploading engine had a filter to check the file specs, sou you couldn't cheat). So, resolution AND dimensions be together. There's no avoiding this. Cheers! **************** Alberto Tirado
