What happens to the dpi flag when you export the file as TIFF?

notepad++ is free open source and has syntax highlighting for javascript. A step up from vanilla notepad.exe

comment Alternative to Lorem Ipsum (dummy text) for websites
It is extremely easy to tell at a glance when the typesetter forgot to finish importing or removing FPO (lorem) text. If you use "typical text" you cannot tell without foreknowledge of the intended content. I often alter the "normal/unstyled" text with an obvious color as I import to make it obvious that I forgot to style something.

comment Photoshop print to postscript outputs incorrectly as 8.5X11
Probably just the PDF viewing application placing it on a letter sized sheet, with auto-scaling disabled. Set the paper size to custom in the PDF viewer.

comment Is there a command-line program that can output ascii art as an image?
I have never tried it, but I do know that it is possible to pipe text to convert (ImageMagick). If you set the output -f of img2txt to ansi (rather than colored ansi), you can pipe the result to convert (or other suitable software)

comment graphic design - high or low resolution
There are way too many questions in this to be answered constructively. All the individual questions, though interrelated, are all touched upon many times in other questions on the site. search terms: resample/-ing; ppi vs dpi; raster vs vector; lossy vs lossless compression

comment Screen calibration | Screen looks like it dipped in toxic waste!
do you have the screen resolution set properly? For example if there is a choice between "1920x1080" and "1080p", choose 1080p (?). I have a similar model samsung on a windows machine and the monitor does get detected differently depending on DVI/hdmi.

comment Dark images print with low contrast
If it is possible to disable any "auto-color adjustment" in the printer driver software, and then make manual color and contrast adjustments saved to a preset in the printer driver properties, you might find that, with a little R&D you no longer need to make (large) per-image adjustments. Printer drivers SUCK because they always alter the color to "wow" my grandmother, but for color matching it is not desirable.

comment Dark images print with low contrast
One trick in situations like this is to make a "color range" selection with a very wide "fuzziness" setting. You pick e.g. an 85% grey to isolate the darker regions, and then apply the filter to the selection. This will leave the light colors completely unchanged. You apply the selection as a mask to the adjustment layer that tehmacdawg suggests

This iterative edge-finding filter is, technically, not "fractal."

comment How to remove gray background on gray picture?
Old school "descreening" was achieved by taking an enlarged film slightly out of foucs and then reducing it. This can be done digitally by doubling or more the pixels count, blurring and then reducing back to original size.

comment Reduce image size in photoshop without compromising text readability
You have a fundamental misapprehension of what resolution is. By resizing "while maintaining 300dpi of res" you have reduced the resolution.

comment Using PhotoShop to create a magazine
He didn't ask for vector, he asked about magazines. I am sure you will agree that text is virtually guaranteed, and typically font files are vector format. Unlike you I actually restricted my comment to Photoshop, so I am unsure what you are getting at with your implication that I suggested other software. As for whether I think the Photoshop software is a good choice for magazines, look up "daunting" in the dictionary. All that said, I think you covered the topic fairly well.
