This is a simple nit of a question. Often, when preparing images to be uploaded to the Web, we are advised to save them at 72ppi because that is the resolution of many older monitors. Along with that advice we are often also told to restrict our images to a certain size, for example a long dimension of 600 pixels. Is there any point in doing both of these resizing operations? If I save an image as, for example, a 600×400 pixel image it will appear at that absolute size on a monitor regardless of whether it is saved at a resolution of 72ppi or 150ppi! If the image were to be printed that, of course, could make a difference but if the only concern is to properly display the image on other’s monitors is there any point to resizing to both an absolute dimension AND a certain ppi size?
