Please explain this a bit further. Somewhere I'm in the dark here. If my
file is 3400 x 2200 approximately how can I truly see the quality when my
monitors top res is 1600 x 1200 and usually it's set on 1024 x 768. The
previously mentioned file size prints out at approximately 300dpi on a 11.5
x 8 full page if I remember correctly. From the tests I've done on my
monitor I can tell very little difference from a high res photo to a res
approximately at my monitor res.
