DPI is a function of print size and image pixel dimensions. Pymol or any other program that displays graphics does not have a "dpi". The 72 dpi you are referring to is a typical (for some systems) display resolution in pixels per inch.
If your journal figure is going to be 3 x 3 inches, for example, you will need to provide an image of 1800 x 1800 pixels to achieve the required 600 dpi.

The default resolution in Pymol figures is 72. Is there a simple way to increase the resolution (and save it in tiff format)? Alternatively, I can 'convert' from png to tiff afterwards -- Thanks Abhinav Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory Joint Center for Structural Genomics Mail Stop 99 Phone: (650) 926-2992 Fax: (650) 926-3292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
