dpi vs. ppi

2003-07-11 by rbecklund11

Okay, I've seen people referring to dpi for scanning which I guess is 
dots per inch, but on the actual scanner software (nikon) it is ppi, 
which is pixels per inch (I'm assuming) and ppi is used in photoshop 
as well. When people are talking about dpi are they actually 
referring to ppi...
I've always said dpi, but now I'm wondering if dpi is the right term. 
Thanks for any info!
Robbie
