All,

I recently upgraded my version of Photoshop from 5 to 8 and so far I like it but I haven't used it a lot so far and like most things there is a learning curve with the new product.

I have always been told and believed that the majority of digital cameras take their images at 72 dpi and yet last night when I was working with and displaying some of my images in the new Photoshop I noticed some of my dimensions were off and when I went to do an Image - ReSize I noticed that Photoshop is telling me that my images are at 180 dpi and I am confused.

I went into my photo archives and pulled up a couple of photos I had taken a few years ago with a Nikon D100 whihc I was pretty sure were 72 DPI images and they are now being reported by Photoshop 8 as 180 DPI images so what gives here?

Does the newer Photoshop's report a DPI of 180 by default or did I inadvertantly change a setting? Photoshop 8 has a few new ways of doing the same stuff I have always done and I am still getting used to it.

How can I reset my DPI to 72? I liked it that way and I want to get back to it. Thanks for the help.
