How do I get the resolution of an image accessed by a Player?

Hi Dave,

Resolution depends on the ratio between the actual size and the  
current size of the image.
If the current size is the actual size, the resolution is 72 DPI with  
most monitors.
At half size 144 DPI, etc.
With Rev objects all this does not make sense since I think Rev  
recalculates all prints at 72 DPI when they are resized.
All things change when you want to print a TIFF image from the actual  
file by using the printer prefs. Then it works as above.
But within Rev, you always get a 72 DPI resolution.
I'm not a specialist of these things, others will correct me and  
bring to you more precise information.
It's just my two cents.
