Hi all. I have a quick question.I recently saved an jpg a friend sent me and in windows vista when I right click > Properties > Details, it says the horizontal resolution is 96 dpi and the vertical resolution is 96 dpi. But when I open the jpg in photoshop cs2 (and cs5), it says the resolution is 72 dpi.I know it's not at all important but it's really bugging me as I've never ever seen this before. I know I can resave the image in photoshop but that adds around 1mb to the jpg which I don't really want to do. Anyone know what the reason for this is. I'm very confused and would really appreciate any info/advise someone can give. Thanks.xx Sarah

Would it make you happier if it assigned it as the same? It's arbitrary is the point. (Don't think It's me going mad or missing the point??(I hope))
