  28. 300 dots per inch times 4.75 inches is 1425 pixels.
  29. That's 1425 x 1425, Square Pixels.
  30.  
  31. If I were conducting a LW seminar, it would never occur to me that some
  32. people in my audience wouldn't know how to multiply DPI times length to
  33. get a pixel dimension.  Do you think I could spend an hour going over all
  34. of the variations, like if the size were given in centimeters instead of
  35. inches?
  36.  
  37. On the other hand, if somebody needs a 300dpi 4.75" x 4.75" image, why
  38. don't they just say they need an image that's 1425 x 1425?  Am I missing
  39. something?
