I was giving a rule of thumb for the majority of computer users not for
power users like those with film scanners. I just did a quick measurement
of a 15" screen which had about 10.8" visible width where it displayed 800
pixels. That works out to 74 dpi. Given variations in visible display
size etc, 72dpi is still a worthwhile rule of thumb. 100dpi is easier
mathematically
of course. :)
AFAIK digital cameras produce files which are set to 72 dpi. Can anyone
who has one check this? I know it's been driving my brother nuts when people
send digicam pics at screen resolutions and expect him to print them in
a magazine!
