Tip of the Week:

Images to "dpi" for...
If you are inserting a print-quality image,
or a scanned image, into your web page,
be sure to change the dots-per-inch
(dpi) of the image to 72 dpi.
Usually, images for print publications
carry anywhere from 150 to 300 dpi. What
does this mean? Basically, the larger
the dpi, the larger the byte size of the
file, which leads to longer download times
for your visitors.
Why 72 dpi you ask? Most monitors can display
crisp images from 72 - 96 dpi. 96 dpi is
only slightly noticeable in quality from
72 while adding a fair amount to the file
size. I recommend sticking with 72 dpi to
have the best of both worlds: quality and
size.
You can use any image editing software
(such as Adobe
Photoshop, or Paint
Shop Pro) to change image dpi.
