Bitmap class problem

[TCR]

Hi,
I'm using the Image.FromImage() function to load a jpg file into a bitmap
class and then convert it to a lower resolution. The problem I'm having is
that if I check the resolution of the image using either of the properties
(Horizontal or Vertical), it reports it as 72 dpi when in fact they are 300
dpi. Is this a known bug? For example I have an image that is 1200 X 1600
pixels at 300 dpi but when I load it into the bitmap class it reports the
width and height correctly in pixels but not the resolution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Troy Reagan

Try importing the image from file like this. See if that makes any
difference.

Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("filename");

Unfortunately, I tried that and the results were the same. I'll keep
looking but if anyone else has another suggestion, I would appreciate it.
