Hi

When I open photo's in Fireworks it automaticaly opens withe the resolution
set at 72 dpi. How can I change this so when I open photo's they open at a
high res? I'm running Fireworks MX 2004 if that makes any difference. Any help
appreciated.

Just change it as you open a new document window. Why do you want to
work with a high resolution?

AFAIK, They will open at their native resolution - are you saying that
photos that you KNOW to be of a higher resolution default back to 72 dpi?

I'm using FW8 - but am pretty sure the same applies - if I scanned at my
scanners default 300dpi - then this image retains that dpi when opened
in FW8

Thanks Jim,

Perhaps I'm wrong here, but I think that the OP is saying that the print
resolution defaults to 72ppi when opening a doc with that originally had
a higher print resolution - my DW8 stays at the original ppi.

Maybe, but it's not the way I read it. I think the issue here is the OP
is not being very clear as to WHAT resolution he's referring to. I tried
to clear that up in my post, but I should have replied directly to the
OP's post rather than to yours. Sorry for the confusion. :-)
