    Yes.. Hai Etlik is right.. 15000 pixels is 15000 pixels.. period.. displaying more of them in an inch means shrinking the apparent size (visually) but not the document pixel content.. and would be dictated by what the image is going to be used for.

    rough stats: photo/art magazine 300-600ppi, glossy mag 300ppi, newspaper 150ppi, web 72ppi.

    So for example... you could use the same image you used in a 4" x 4" glossy magazine ad to fill an 8" x 8" space in a newspaper.

    another example... a 2" x 2" document at 300ppi (making it 600px X 600px) is the same as a 4" x 4" document at 150ppi (still 600px X 600px)
