You're correct, however the resolution of the original image is important if you want to zoom in on any particular detail in an image or picture.

sorry.....not true........dpi is irrelevant in monitor terms, its the pixel dimensions which count. A 400pixel x 300 pixel image is just that and you can call it whatever dpi you like it will still be 400 x 300 and take up that area on screen depending on the monitor settings. The dpi (or being a purist the ppi) will only affect output size when printed. 72dpi (or96dpi on pc) is a throwback to the original apple mac computers which had monitors with that resolution.

Re: 400 Mb each pic ???
I've been to Milan a number of times - at my last company we had a plant there and also one of the major suppliers for all the factories was based in Milan. I stayed in a nice hotel up a winding drive - beautiful marble everywhere... v nice.

No worries....it IS very confusing!
Basically, Photoshop (or any other pixel based image editing programme for that matter) only recognises the pixel dimensions of the file. The user specifies a resolution which then determines the image dimensions in inches or centimetres or whatever. (If yopu look at the Image/image size dialogue box in Photoshop you will see that pixel dimensions are at the top).
This is easy to accept in print terms - a 400 x 400 pixel image at 200ppi will be 2 inches square. When it comes to the monitor however, we are actually seeing pixels represented and the onscreen dimensions in inches or whatever will depend on several factors including monitor size, screen resolution setting and any zoom factor you may apply. Zoom in to a low pixel count image and you will see the pixels very quickly but its still the pixels which funadamentally determine image size on screen.
