3. I read in a post at this site, that the files is sitting at wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_rf_content, but that only seems to be the microphoto and the watermark photo. Where is the Larger photo?

Full size images are stored in /symbiostock_rf

I see this statement about dpi so many times that I begin to think I am misunderstanding it!

However, I'll have a go at explaining. A digital file as a pixel count - ie 3000 x 1500. That is all. To print a digital file in a program like Photoshop (or any other), you need to set a dots per inch (DPI) setting that logically scales the image to a physical size. So 300 dpi means my file would print at 10 x 5 inches. Nothing changes in the file when you do that (assuming you don't enable resampling) and so you can change that dpi value all day long and it would not change the underlying file.

I've seen people ask for a 240 dpi image to be sent for review (with no indication of the size they expect). That, to me, is a meaningless request but I see it all the time.

So I wasn't even aware that Symbio has any requirement for dpi (unless there is something that says that a particular file would print at a certain dimension assuming you used 300 dpi). If you use 150 dpi, it would print at twice the size - duh...

If I have been wrong on this all these year, someone please correct me!

BTW - I've never seen that .html in a downloaded jpeg. Something wrong there.

@steheap: I agree on your thoughts, but the thing is that it is prestated on the download page, that the Large image is in 300 dpi - while the three smaller is in 72 dpi - so even though it doesn't make any difference a costumer will expect to get an image in 300 dpi.

it doesn't really say that - it says that the file has a certain number of pixels at each file size. It also gives you an idea of how big you can print the latter two (in my case) at 300 dpi. The smaller ones are for web use and so it shows what size it will appear on a typical screen. Your original question was whether you needed to resize - the very clear answer from me is that it is "no", the dpi means nothing in terms of a digital file.

Here is a suggestion:

The way that it should work is that the customer should be able to enter in the DPI that they want, and the Symbiostock app would then apply this entry into the created file.  For example, if a customer buys a Large, but wants it at 200 DPI, they should be able to enter that into the system and have the system generate an image file with 200 DPI.

OK - I'm officially going crazy. What buyer will take a file they have paid good money for and send it straight from the file manager to a printer without looking at it in a photo editing program and maybe cropping it a little to fit with their design? As they are doing all that, they need to decide how big it needs to print. So, they adjust the dpi to fit their printer process and scale the file down to meet the physical size they want. What has Symbio got to do with any of that?
