Well that's too bad as you'll miss out on literally hundreds of features that have been added since Photoshop 5 that are particularly important to Digital photographers.

Keep in mind that the 72 doesn't affect what you do in anyway. Nothing has changed. The image you load into Photoshop is the same image. You can just ignore the 72 for all practical purposes for most of your workflow. Virtually all Digital SLRs of the last few years from Nikon and Canon and other major manufacturers are indicating a value greater than 72. So if Photoshop 5 reports it as 72, then there is some problem with Photoshop 5.

However, all that being said, you could probably hire someone to write you a script that would automatically change the value to 72 and then you attach that script to the On Load event of Photoshop 8.

Cheers,
