Since I target a paper size, I generally have gone in that direction, but I believe that you can set the DPI and let the dimensions follow suit in Photoshop LE and above.

>Jay, thanks. As far as I see, I always need DPI about 300 to get satisfactory images printed. Reducing the size does not always help keeping DPI the very same. And if I need to use manipulation software anyway then I would like to change DPI directly, not somehow indirectly via size or other properties. Do you know any of the manipulation software that change DPI directly?

>>Megapixel count identifies resolution on the capture end. DPI is resolution on the display end. So, they're not strictly comparable.

>>Display resolution -- or the DPI of an image -- reflects the capture resolution factored by the size of the image. The larger the image with a set resolution, the lower the DPI. If your reference is to a manipulation program such as Photoshop, you can simply reduce the size of the picture to get the desired DPI.

>>DPI, of course, can be limited by other factors, specifically the resolution capability of the display device.

>>>Does anybody know how to compare digital cameras from DPI (dot per inch)point of view? I tryed several cameras having different "megapixels" but never got original images better than 72 dpi. Any recommendation to improve it?
