Not to beat a dead horse, but I have a quick question about resolution:

My camera takes pictures at 72dpi and I use Photoshop Elements 4 to do my editing. When I am finished editing and ready to upload to SmugMug, do I just leave it at 72dpi? Do I understand correctly that EZ Prints will do whatever it needs to do to make each photo print correctly at each size?

Thanks SO much!

    In short, ignore the dpi. All that matters is the number of pixels...
