Sorry for the delay. My son got sick so I spent most of my evening dealing with that. I did get a chance to check the file size on some of the pics. They were around 2800 on the long side. I don't remember the actual numbers but I calculated it last night and it was high enough to come out to 114ppi. So maybe I am just being too picky. It did seem odd to me that a file that is 2.5mb could have over 3,500,000 pixels.

As a side note, I took a few shots last night and imported them into LR as a test. I made no changes and simply exported them. When I exported them the file sizes were 6 -7mp which is what I would expect. I am aware that the adjustments I typically make are destructive and will reduce the file size. Also, the files that were only 2.5mp had been slightly cropped. So I guess my issue is resolved in a way.
