Ok. I tried it with a tweaked image. The PC did _not_ explode. :-) This is anyhow used only if there is no resolution info coming with an image. If then \pdfimageresolution=0, a resolution value 72 dpi hardcoded in pdftex.ch is used as last resort. When you say \pdfimageresolution=1, you obviously get a HUGE image possibly with some TeX dimension overflow warning.

So 0 is something magic here, like 10000 in TeX, which means infinity... I hope that it doesn't confuse people.

Yes it's a special case. Would happen only in combination with special images missing a resolution info. And like this it has been there for long time. And you find it in the manual. Should be ok... But there is some chance of confusion with \pdfimageresolution itself as it's set most time outside the document (e. g. in the format). So if this changes, the document would get images with different sizes. Not very portable. Regards, Hartmut
