If I have a jpeg file, how can I tell what the resolution is?

You can probably right click on it and select "properties...". One of the tabs should show information about the image including resolution.

I had to open an image in Photo software (MS Picture Manager)to see the resolution in Windows XP. A general right click only gave me file size and dimension.

Yeah, I'm just getting a size of 1.88 MB (1,975,687 bytes) in Properties but no other info. If I click on "Actual Size" in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it looks huge (I see maybe 1/6 of it on my monitor).

I'm using Vista at the moment, looks like they added more details.

Similarly, if you open the jpg in MSPaint, and click on Image > Attributes, it'll show resolution there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random survey!

For those who work in IT, how big is/are your monitor(s)?

My work computer has two 1280x1024 LCD monitors, but I want bigger ones, as several systems I remote into have bigger displays than that, which is annoying....

I have a 24" Widescreen LCD and a 20" CRT, though the CRT is supposed to be replaced with a 22" Widescreen LCD any day now.

Our wings are not tired

Not in IT, but the smallest monitors I have at this point are 20"widescreen. Office computer runs two of them. Laptop runs at 1920x1280.

All is well that ends in pizza.

At least once a month I remote into a site to fix a screen rotation problem. Usually someone clueless has hit the right combination of keys accidentally and doesn't know how to get out of it.

It's really strange remote connecting into a site that has a widescreen monitor at 90˚ or 260˚.

I wish our company wouldn't ship out systems with rotation hotkeys enabled.
