hi, thanks a bunch, - well I often make, or build a piece very large so I can use it for 'print' which requires a "dpi" of 200-300 at least on your working inches. When you're in photoshop in go to top menu, choose Image> Image Size> in pop-up window you will find "Document Size:" there you see the hxw and "Resolution:" (or dpi,- dots/pixels per inch as it's called) - If you make a postcard for print, the width will be 6" and the height will be 4" and the Resolution should be at least 300 pixels/inch - (so printers require more or less, you have to ask) . . .

so to answer your question, whoops, sorry for the long wind, *cough, the image above was a section at 100% of a 200 or not sure 300 dpi image, that's what I saw on my monitor. It's way too big to view on a 22" diagonal screen at 100% - now, go to the Apple store, you have to see those new Apple 30" flat panel LCD screens - you just might be able to see the whole in one - I've been drooling!

Hi arterie,
thanks for the reply! Yep, after sitting there pondering on it I figured it must be something to do with print and your reply has cleared up a no. of things so a Big Thankyou for that!!
A 30" lcd??!! - oh what things dreams are!!! That would just be the end of me!! I can`t stand small monitors!!
Using a 21" CRT which is dying a long slow death as I`ve had it a number of years and the thought of ever getting an equivalent lcd makes me drool!!!! 30"!! Thats pure heaven-on-earth!!
Beautiful work arterie-everything!! And your gallery is so varied too!! I noticed Jark left his mark too!! I`ll bet he does`nt do that too often so your art MUST be considered very special!!!!
ceeque
DredDad

hi, I'm going to be in the market for a new monitor early next year I think, the LaCie I have is almost 5 yrs old now and it still seems like new, but shaky at times. The LCD monitors are coming on their own now. I've been a die-hard CRT only person for quite some time, - but if you see the latest live in the store, they're much better than even last year, (I'm only talking about the Apple monitors) - might just have to make the switch.
$jark is an old friend online, I've been here since almost the start and he's commented on my work often in the past, He's the best here and his voice to me the essence of deviantART. Yay Scott!!!
