[LEFT] I’m working on a site for a client that he wants to have the End User upload a image on to the site, where the back end saves a main copy and a makes a thumbnail to play with in flash. Then the End User can reposition and scale the thumbnail image on a silhouette of a snowboard. After we save this custom boards on a database. Later then client opens the End Users account and reproduces this on a real size board.

```
The Problem: One the dpi of the after product has to be 300dpi and the Main image upload has to be that as well. 

So I need to know what the dpi of the swf file is so that I may make a proper representation of the image on over the silhouette of the board, that way the End User can see what 100% of the image uploaded will look like in a 1/15th scale representation of it.

```

I think from the export option when saving a jpg from flash that it’s 72 dpi? Any one know for sure??
