Any value that FrameMaker displays in the "custom dpi" box is read from the header of the graphic file itself. If I take a capture with SnagIt and leave the "resolution" setting at 96 (the default) when saving the capture as a BMP file, the custom dpi value I see in FrameMaker is 96. If I set the "resolution" to 120 before saving the capture, the custom dpi value I see in FrameMaker is 120. In both cases the pixel dimensions of the capture are the same and the actual resolution is still the same nominal 96 dpi; the "resolution" in the file header is nothing more than a "suggested" value for anything using the image downstream, and FrameMaker displays that suggestion as the custom dpi value. -Fred Ridder
