Hi Leo,

Resolution figures are meaningless in themselves, unless you also  
tell me what the size of the image is. You should think in terms of  
pixel dimensions instead. When I export an image from Lightroom, I  
simply set the pixel dimensions--for example, if it is for my PAW, I  
set it to 700 pixels on the long side, for my other web images, 800  
pixels. If exporting for a Blurb book, I set the pixel dimensions to  
the size required (e.g. 2884 by 2471 for a landscape 8x10 book), etc.  
I do not know and do not care what the dpi is.

Cheers,
Nathan
