i am trying to figure out best export settings for giving clients a cd of images they can email and use as wallpaper etc but not be able to print, or maybe print at 4x6. if i have a 10mp image to begin with. how does 72dpi and 1024 longest edge sound at 80% jpg setting? would that be good enough but not good enough to print? help and thanks

    A tad shy for output to print. You'd want no less than 180 ppi for a decent ink jet so you're looking at 6x180 or 1080 minimum. And be sure you export in sRGB for wallpaper.
