Is there any way around it so that it wouldn't change the resolution?</P><P></P><DIV>And is it recommended to update PMB to the newest version (Ver.5.6.02.) because it seems it has more deleted features than new ones? I'm using Ver. 5.2.)</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Thank you!</DIV></BODY></HTML> Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:18:52 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/pmb-problems/m-p/242623#M2201 Reneval 2011-08-28T14:18:52Z PMB ProBleMs https://community.sony.sk/t5/alpha-nex-interchangeable-lens-cameras/pmb-problems/m-p/242624#M2202 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Reneval, welcome to the Sony Forums <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /></P><P></P><P>I'm not sure of the reason for the PMB default being 72dpi (other than convention, related to point sizes in font-mapping on early desktop computers IIRC) but there's no reason to be concerned, as the resolution of the image doesn't actually change in PMB.</P><P></P><P>The dot pitch (in ppi or dpi) is only an issue when you go to make a hard copy of an image, effectively a by-product of the size you want to print at.
