Far less of them indeed than dpi but the concept is exactly the same. Instead of drops of ink on paper they are little boxes that we register as an image. Those boxes that in essence work in exactly the same manor as dpi. Those little boxes on the screen that make an image. the ones I can no longer directly manipulate along with the resolution. The ones I used to see immediately but don't any more. The pixel dimensions I have to flip back and forth on a dropbox to see. What I see on screen isn't exactly what I see in the browser any longer and now I rely even more on the pixel dimensions to ensure I have the right size. The advent of the high resolution screens while making images crisper makes it one step removed from what the browser renders which adds another layer on there. To be more specific, I need it to display on a browser at the size I want. I care if I can get an image to the size I want on screen. It still doesn't make what I'm saying any less relevant. DPI and resolution are different and I often flip them around in my dyslexic brain. Why that flexibility has been removed is nonsensical.
Maybe inches are great for some, but not all. I don't need another genius who can't think out of the box, imposing their perception of the world on 100% of users. I'm more interested in solving the problems that are relevant to the task at hand. as a professional" when I can't see the pixel measurement? I'm sure you're "brilliant" and do the math in your head but personally, I'm visual and don't have the time for getting my calculator and trying to figure out the inches to pixel conversion. So how I'm supposed to "keep thinking in pixels. I used to do this and have the flexibility of seeing the outcome in pixels or inches. I want to take the dpi down and I want it to shift the size up or down. I've been working on this industry since the 90s so I have a pretty good grasp on how "all image processing programs" work. I never had this problem until I went onto the "cloud" which is a crock to make people pay more money and nothing Abambo guessing means it will be wrong and I can't sit around trying to guess how many pixels = inches. I'll have to do some crazy calculation to figure out what I'm looking at or bring it in and see what it does. I don't print, I am working on UI's for web applications and everything is 72 dpi. If you tell me something is 10" I don't know what that means in pixels. Once I do that, I can often crop as I please or get close to the size I need and use the canvas size for the rest. I need to understand what that means in terms of web design, not print. If I want to lock the dpi and change the pixels, that's fine, but on as many occasions if not more, I reduce the dpi to 72, which will scale the image.
Inches mean nothing in web design, everything is defined by the pixel. If want to change the width to a smaller size and allow it to increase the dpi, I don't know what I'm doing in inches. It won't let me select pixels because someone decided that I as a user didn't need pixels. I don't think of my web images in inches.
The problem is that I want to manipulate the dpi and see what it does to the pixels. All units and guides are in pixels and points for text.
