For those who don't believe that being outdoors can greatly affect sound, point them to the number of soldiers in battle who have reported that, because of an oddity of geographic position or atmospheric conditions, had no idea that a battle or, you know, artillery fire, was occuring less than fifty yards away from them.

Sound is a very bizzare thing sometimes.

Also, a goodly number of people fatally surprised by trains sneaking up on them.

Huh. A document I have up on google docs reverted to an older version. It was fine yesterday. Does anyone know if this happens much?

Question re: digital photographs - do all digital cameras take high res pictures all the time?

Or is that something people set when they set up their camera?

(I need high res photographs for a work related thing and people are sending me pictures and they have a pitiful low dpi.

How do you define "hi-res"? Digital cameras don't take images with a specific dpi; they take pictures with a certain number of pixels. So the size you need to print will determine what "hi-res" means.

300 dpi is what our Media Services need.

How can I figure that out based on pixels?

I tried resizing and the no. of dpi's stays the same.

300 dpi means 300 pixels per inch. Multiply 300 times the size in inches to determine the minimum number of pixels. So, for example, if you need the image to be printed at 3" by 5", then it needs to be at least 900 pixels by 1500 pixels.

What are you using for your graphics software?

irfanview

It seems to be letting me resize by changing the dpi, does that seem likely?
