waiting for large files to download but I would like
reasonable clarity to remain in the pictures.  .......

Hi Larry,

Since monitor resolution is less than 100 dpi (72 dpi as I
recall) it would be a waste of memory to export anything at
a higher resolution since it wouldn't be seen as a sharper
image anyway.  For my magazine print media pictures I use
400 dpi but for my web site and PictureTrail 100 dpi is
sufficient and makes the transfer rate on dial-up
acceptable.

I look forward to seeing what you have in mind to post.
Though I'm not a compulsive responder, I do usually take a
peek at the pictures folk post when the announce there is
something new to peruse.
