Not having to resample? Wouldn't it be faster or better? Then having file be 300 or 240? To me if I have a 360 printer then why not feed it 360 images? Certainly not higher. And certainly not 259! And I like the idea of having a ppi for every degree in a circle. Day in the year.... Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
