ho-dot? lodestar? i suggest avoiding dehydration. let me tell you about resolution. average monitor screen resolutions are between 72 and 75 ppi (pixels per inch [linear]). when printing an image however, 150 to 300 ppi is desired for photo realistic image quality. since screens only show 72 ppi, if you're working with 150 ppi data, the image will be approximately twice the size on screen as it would be if printed. likewise, an image scanned in at 300 dpi (dots per inch, a dot is roughly the same size as a pixel), will appear approximately at 400% it's original size on screen. how's it going ciara?
