The first is at a higher dpi because according to Kelby, you can have your cake and eat it too if you only change the pixel size and leave the dpi alone...Rob seems to think this isn't copesetic and I do so want to be correct....so, I did a save to web file, Number 2 and oddly enough, it took considerably longer to load and it also changed color. I guess my next step is to load it to a site like flicker or photobucket and load via a url.
There needs to be some kind of alogorthim (sp) that can do this for everyone without having to go through all these wacky contortions...that's the sissy side of me talking...still, it is all too confusing for a simple minded boy like me.
