Juergen,

The data type for the X and Y resolution is rational. The rational data type is constructed of a 4 byte unsigned LONG integer - the numerator - followed by another 4 byte unsigned LONG integer - the denominator. This way fractional numbers can be described as well as integer values. Your example has bytes "0 45 198 192" or 3,000,000 as the numerator and "0 0 39 16" or 10,000 as the denominator. Dividing the numerator by the denominator makes 300 as you expected. It may be rare to see values other than 1 on the denominator, but it is possible.
