I am creating a web site for a upscale jewelry firm–my first web site. The photos of jewelry must be super sharp and of highest quality–any help in scanning settings, dots per inch and size of photo is appreciated. I am thinking of placing the main photo in a frame on the home page. thanks

Congrats on your first web job….and welcome to a WHOLE NEW WORLD. It took me about 3 years to get comfortable enough to delivery
this type of project….so, be easy on yourself. DPI is a misnomer of sorts…..pixels is where it is at….if you are scanning…I
would scan the images at the highest resolution possible but then downsize accordingly. A rule of thumb is that larger images
should not really be over 25kb and thumbs should not be over 5kb. Depending on your clients level of inventory…I would make your
life easier and just sell them a pro pre-fab solution like this…. http://www.imagefolio.com/pro/ buy the batch module and you will
look like a pro…..otherwise, this might be your last web job.

72 pixels per inch for web browsers

This is a common mistake. Browsers do not care about dpi, only about pixel dimensions. They will show an image that is 400×600 pixels @ 72 dpi exactly the same size as an image that is 400×600 pixels @ 300 dpi. Forget about dpi when working for the web, dpi is for printing only.
