Getting a files DPI without downloading it and then looking at it in a image editor like Photoshop has been a problem since cover sites came into being.

Well I have solved this problem with new code that can check and see what the DPI is for a file on the fly.

I have now added a check to new uploads so if your file is anything but 300dpi it will fail and the gallery will not accept it and throw this error msg up:

I have added the dpi info to the gallery image display stats here:

There is a tutorial on what DPI is and how to change it here: Link To The Tutorial

It's easy to set this in Photoshop and if you are using a template that is set to 300dpi then all JPG's saved from it will be correct.

That is great

However, i think there's an error in your script with Labels, as they all show 72 DPI

edit: its the custom preview that's causing the error.
