I haven't figured out the best dpi value; for this particular image, I must have ignored the dpi value (and image size) altogether and just set the desired pixel size. When I downsize for web use, I tried to downsize in whole multiple of the original image. In Photoshop, I use set Image Size, always keeping the same proportion, and choosing a "nice" number of pixels. I then look at the image at actual pixel size to make sure things look reasonable. So far, I haven't had to resize my images differently. I am new at this diplay thing, and am trying to learn the HTML language (anybody has a good recommendation for a tehnical book on HTML programming ?), although I use tools to generate the pages automatically. And thanks for the feedback on the presentation, which to me is very important. It's the difference from picture in shoe box (apologies to Steve), and picture in an album. I am glad to hear my images look good on other people's screen. The problem of course, is that we have little control on the view end of things. I guess that's a long way to say I don't have a useful answer for you, but thanks for asking :-).
