Hi Trevor

The 72 dpi and 300dpi in the box shouldn't make any difference to to the text. It generally shows that a value for dpi was not actually specified and 72 dpi is usually the screen resolution.

As long as the size in pixels is the same you are OK. If you want to store it at 300dpi look at the picture size in pixels, change the value in the dpi window to 300 then re-enter the original pixel size in the size window and save. This will record the picture as 300 dpi. Really only important if you are going to print it out.

As I said before I am not an expert with photoshop but I have learnt a lot of tricks in it for re-generation damaged pictures like the ones in the sample I posted. The original page scanned for that picture was torn and had pieces missing out of it. It is over 70 years old and shows its age!
