TIFF to JPEG conversion kills dpi

Quote:How you determine that the exported jpeg is at 72 ppi. 

The JPEG was a noticeably smaller size, so I opened it up in GIMP and went to "Image>Resize image" and it is showing up there as 72 dpi. But I mean, you know the TIFF is 17 MB and when I export as JPEG, it's 1 MB so that was initially what alerted me that something hokey was going on. Of course the JPEG would be a smaller image size, but at 100% image quality and no compression, I expected the JPEG file to be at least a bit larger.

I will try the Linux forums.
