    All images should be to the power of 2 rule to preserve memory so they should be 2, 4 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 or as close to that as possible to preserve memory

    So if you have an object that is 24X56, it will round up to the next power of two which would be 32X64.

    Hope this answers your question! And I think images in photoshop need to be saved as 72dpi, if you use the free program Pixen however, when you save it as a .png, it automatically saves it at 72dpi

    Hope this helps!
