RE: 72 dpi graphics appearing at roughly 50 dpi

["Scott J. Wilson" <swilson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Platform? Graphic format? How obtained? Did you check the dpi in Photoshop?

Subject: 72 dpi graphics appearing at roughly 50 dpi


This one's for a cow-orker not on the list. After checking the archives I
can find no answer and having no experience with said problem, I'm going to
post it here. He writes:

"Importing graphics (File > Import > File) by reference and then specifying
the imported graphic scaling as 72 dpi actually scales the image at about 50
dpi, making it much larger (and ragged) in both display and print than it
should actually be. Checking properties verifies that Frame believes it is
indeed set to 72 dpi. Wa'sssuuuup?"

What he showed me was a printout of a word file with the same exact graphic
as what's in the frame file. Now as I understand it, word brings in the file
at the native dpi of the graphic (which is 72 in this case). Why would
appear as 50 in frame even though it clearly thinks it's 72 in the
properties? I'm stumped (and obviously no expert), but any help or ideas
would be appreciated.
