The DPI is just a number stored in the file, it doesn't actually change the image.
You could even make a suitable image with Paint. If, for example, the image should be 10"x10", you make the image file 30 000 pixels by 30 000 pixels
code:
real length in inches * DPI = length in pixels
10 * 300 = 30 000 pixels

The reason you say this is because we all are used to see images on the screen (which are all almost always 72 DPI) and many (if not all) programs which show images don't care about the saved DPI. As soon as you print or view the images on something else then a computer monitor the image schanges drastically if you didn't made it in the correct DPI!
quote:You prooved your own statement wrong (the first one) in saying this. As you show here, DPI does matter significantly when creating images for other media.

PS: To make things more complicated, DPI is not "Pixels Per Inch", but "Dots Per Inch". A pixel isn't (nessecairly) a dot, but is often used that way though.
