Best resolution for a picture as a background image on a form
I am wondering what would be the best resolution for a picture as a background image on a form. The choices are either 72 dpi (81KB), or 300 dpi (298 KB).
Does anyone have experience with this?

That depends on the screen resolution.
If the screen is 16" wide with 1600 pixels, your form is about the half of that, 800 pixels.

This might give you some idea. This Form is 8w x 6h
Most screens can't make us of any finer resolution than 72 DPI. Using a higher DPI comes into play when creating an image to be used for high quality printing. So to answer your question, use 72 DPI.

I'm not sure that's true with today's high res monitors .... 24" @ 1920x1080 and beyond.
(@ at first comment are 72 vs 96)

The form is 8" wide x 6 " deep. How many pixels is that?Since there are 1440 twips in an inch and a pixel has 15 twips, that would come out to be 768 x 576
@mx. I believe you're right about the 96DPI.
Trust me ... this is one of the most CONFUSING subjects on the planet, lol.
"Since there are 1440 twips in an inch and a pixel has 15 twips,"
Hey ... where did you find that ?
