What sort of resolution pics do you usually take of your animals?

Resolution?That's a meaningless concept in the digital age!
Note how it doesn't really feature on DSLRs other than random settings (Nikon at 300, Canon at 240, Sony at 180), and doesn't appear anywhere in Photoshop other than resizing images. About twice a year I have the same pointless argument with someone I work with when they insist on a minimum of 300 dpi, and I try and explain it's completely meaningless, because some publisher we're using doesn't understand their job
Such arguments inevitably end with me supplying something completely meaningless like a jpg with a 'resolution' of 24000 or as meaningless as I can get Photoshop to do. They don't seem to understand it's their printer where they set the resolution, not the digital data fed through it

HahahaIt actually makes me chuckle just thinking about the head-in-hand moments I've had over the years dealing with clueless people, adjusting something to 25000 in Photoshop just to fucking please them when all words are lost, supplying that, and never hearing any feedback along the lines "of like wow man!"
And seeing something in print exactly how it would of been if I had left it at 72 DPI (my old 40D default)
