Having worked with magazines or rather scientific
journals, they are total idiots when it comes to
images.
I once had a journal reject a picture with 512x512
pixels because it was labelled "72 dpi". They said
"please
submit it at what it really was when scanned", so I
did ... which was 25,000,000 dpi. They didn't like
that either. So I laboriously fixed it to
say "300 dpi" and they were happy .... despite it
being the exact same set of pixels.
