photoshop default dpi

Hello,
when i open an imag ewith photoshop and go to
image size
i find that the dpi by default is 72 px.

can i make it open all the photos at 300 px. resolution so i start editing them accordingly.
or the resolution (72 px) is part of the file that i am opening and it can't be changed, unless i do it manually..

Thank you

The default action in GIMP is to change the document size when you change the DPI and leave the pixel sizes alone.
…essentially if you resample you add pixels and scale you omit/delete pixels. Changing the DPI (however and in whatever application) just changes the sample or density of pixels.
