just to save any confusion, the "dots per inch" resolution that you're working with while building and editing your image can be considered a little like the zoom level when you're working with RGB. More dots per inch is very much like more pixels per inch, it means you're more zoomed out and looking at a smaller sharper image.
This need not bear any relationship to the dpi setting when you screen your print ready files. Unless you're using default settings and letting the software figure it out itself.
It's not unreasonable to work with 600 dpi images for a sharper resolution across the page, then apply a 133 dpi screen when you're finished. It actually helps the quality if the dpi setting of your image is not a factor of the dpi setting for your screen. So if you work at 399 dpi then use a 133 dpi screen you may as well just use the default settings.
Going the other way can be a little tragic though.
Cheers,
Andrew.
Hi Andrew,
Can I ask you for a favor? Please do not open for each mail a new thread, you posting a lot and we definitely like your engagement but we have normally here not that much traffic and with an new thread for each post, its hard for some of us to keep up with the list ;)

Terribly sorry, I never stopped to think what format you're viewing this in, to me it was just emails, not threads.
For me,, they're just emails. I actually find it comfortable this way. But I guess I don't receive that much messages.
Cheers!

Hi Sylvia,
It takes all sorts to make an interesting world.
I must admit I was a little insulted, not by the request to do things his way but by the lack of protocol.
The very reason I was still hanging around was because I was still waiting for his response.
Expected protocol:
I will post your pictures for you.
Thank you, here are my pictures.
Pictures have been posted/rejected
What I really did not expect was "Why are you still here and look at the mess you made on my desk."
I am used to dealing with people from many cultures and many different languages but normally find that these types of protocols are universal. Especially where languages differ and nuances of language can easily be misinterpreted I always fall back to a very old saying:
Don't judge a man by what he says, judge him by what he does.
I have enjoyed talking to the rest of you though and I will keep my subscription open for a while in case anyone has any questions. I think I've given Luya enough to fill her plate for now, no one can absorb all of that overnight, plus she's going to need to talk to other people and find out how much of what I said is relevant in today's world and how much is outdated old rubbish from a silly old man.
Cheers,
Andrew.
Yeah, I understand what you say. Anyway, I find your tips really useful. And I'm making a pdf with your html file and pictures. Actually, I'm testing that tutorial on my Gimp.
Well, just that. Thank you & cheers big ears!

It should work just as it says but please let me know if I need to change anything.
This includes any language problems you come across, I tend to write the same as I speak so a lot of that tutorial might not translate in to other languages very well.
Another quick little tip, I normally do the noise removal and sharpening before any other editing, resizing a picture first seems to make all the other problems increase.
Cheers,
Andrew.
And another quick tip for anyone nervous about opening an html file sent from a stranger.
Yes, you should be wary, open it with gedit first instead of Firefox.
With mine you'll notice that it's the very basic html that we teach to children, I didn't even put my name in the header or give it a title.
Cheers,
Andrew.

BTW, I find your English perfect.
Thank you for that, a lot of it comes from training apprentices, especially if English was a second language for them. And I try to teach the same way I was taught - teach the concept, not the facts. Once someone understands a concept they can figure the facts out for themselves, this encourages them to think instead of quoting text books like a parrot.
Cheers,
Andrew.
Yeah. I agree. That's the best way. Personally, I deal way better with abstract concepts than with facts. But that's just me, maybe.

No, not just you. Most people.
And I think this is the root cause of most social problems in most societies. Young people who are highly intelligent easily become bored, and this is when they get into trouble.
For children we should use the same concept for education as we do for food - as much as you can possibly push through the front of their heads while they're still young enough to use it. (eat your vegetables) Instead education systems seem to be becoming more oriented towards child minding than teaching.
You quite often find that if you take a "trouble child" out of school and put him in a trade training situation the situation reverses, the child is no longer bored, gains a sense of self worth, and is no longer a problem to the greater community. And it's a lot easier to teach someone at 14 or 15 than it is when they reach adulthood.
Cheers,
Andrew.
That's true, but I suspect it's made on purpose, sadly. In the last times, the tendency is everything stupidly easy and quick. People, specially youngsters, getting bored easily and getting into troubles are easy to manipulate and command. That, and the fact that stupidity is Infinite. It's easier to call someone "problem child" than stopping to think what's going on. My thoughts.

Sadly, yes. Poorly educated people are much more easily manipulated. The very last thing governments want is a population of people that actually think, what next? One of them might develop an opinion.

My Experience! I used to train some of these kids. The modern answer is to drug them out of their brains and hide them at the back of the class until their old enough to go to jail. Then complain that there's not enough room in jails. You wouldn't believe how quick they turn around if someone actually starts showing them how to do stuff. Most - some really are just "bad eggs" but they still deserve a chance.
The other mistake most often made is to associate a lack of mathematical ability for low intelligence, many people made this mistake with my sister to their detriment. She was very artistic, funny thing was if you went shopping with her she could tally totals including figuring discounts on items and could do this quicker than most people can think how to. It was only on paper that she struggled with maths. And if you upset her she'd open with a head-butt.
Cheers.
I understand your sister. I'm also artist minded and I always struggled with maths. What is weirder, I'm great in sciences like physics and chemistry. Why I can't solve a math problem but I have no problem solving physics stuff? Who knows...

Weird. This only just arrived but you sent it 3 days ago.
My sister liked painting and she was getting quite good, then she had children. That was the end of it. These days she's a Real Estate Agent in the Barossa Valley.
You mentioned that you like working with pictures, this one might make you smile.
Louise wrote to me and asked how to make pictures smaller for emails because all her friends were complaining. She attached a 5 megapixel picture of her husband sitting up in a hospital bed after having a brain tumour removed.
I wrote a full tutorial for her and used the picture of the husband as an example, but just for a joke I flipped a section of the picture so that his ear was upside down and after I'd finished it looked more realistic than the original.
I didn't hear from them for weeks and was worried that I'd offended them, I rang them up. David answered the phone and straight away I asked if I had offended him and he was confused. I asked him if he saw the last email I sent and he called out to my sister to bring it up on the screen. As soon as it appeared on the screen he burst out laughing but I could hear my sister in the background "What? Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" This made David laugh even more.
And because it was already a smaller picture suitable for email that was the picture that she sent to all his relatives in England to let them know that he was all right. None of them said anything about his ear either.
Cheers,
Andrew.

My apologies, I was in a private conversation and only read the name, not the address.
Please ignore it.
Eh? How comes? I'm subscribed to the Design list... Why my email ended up in Moderation?
