You do realise that it is pointless to add some arbitrary number to an image
file? Apart from the fact that misc image formats, JPEG included, don't have a
standard DPI flag? - It isn't surprising either, as there is absolutely no use
for it ... I might also add that this discussion comes up every few years. So
maybe search the newsgroups for the many answers in that regard.
