original file but 'rendered' at 72DPI rather than the final copy which is mostly likely to be 300+ DPI for printing ?

there is no dpi or more accurately ppi until you print. everything is always done to the original image.

Until you print... or display an image on a monitor screen. Same thing, and a different value for DPI/PPI.

nospam
not the same thing at all. set the ppi to whatever you want and the image does not change.

At least you got that correct.

however, if you change the ppi the print will be different.

Changing the PPI tag in the image file is *not* what changes the print.
