Can someone please tell me what the recommended resolution would be? think it might be 72 pixels/inch but i'm not sure. And I'm assuming 100% is viewing the image at it's physical size?

Cheers
Phil

If you're working with web based artwork 72 dpi is the standard.

If you're working with print based artwork you should be up in the 300 dpi range.

Viewing an image at 100% isn't necessarily the physical size, but the whole image as it is. For example, you could have a 4 inch by 4 inch square at 300 dpi and it will actually appear to be larger than 4x4 on the screen.

How am I able to view what I'm working on as it's actual size then? as I don't really want to resize images to fit my site, as I don't want to lose quality. Thanks for the help though :)

When I hear the term "physical size" I think of how big it would be if you were holding it in your hands as a physical item.

It sounds like you're working on the web, in which case viewing at 100% will show you exactly what size it will be on the screen.

Yeah I am mainly working for designs on my site. Thanks for all your help :) I was getting quite confused between the 100% and the dimentions given in the image resize tab.

Thanks again
