Gotcha.  Guess I took the comment out of context.  Of course the
answer to your last two questions is "pixels x pixels."   However, the
task bar of Vuescan (I resize in PS) says - after the scan - for
example: 

2592x3888 pixels, 2720 dpi, 4x6inch, 22.7MB

So it *is* saving a resolution in dpi, and that is what you're working
with when you reopen it in an editor.   It's easy to see where
confusion arises.
