I've got a couple pics that I need to resize down to 300 dpi.. I don't even know what that means. I'm shooting with a 5 mega pix camera, anyone know how to do this (resize)? I need to know asap for a mag, so any tips/info you guys can throw my way I would really appreciate. Thanx a bunch!

u know how to use photoshop?

Are you outputting for print? Why 300 dpi?
|
Try help in photoshop. dpi is dots per inch, it's a measurement. <BR> <BR>Almost all imaging software, except the standard MS "imaging" has resizing available.
|
In Photoshop, resize the image and change the dpi to 300. But the file size will increase dramatically since the default seems to be 72dpi. <BR> <BR>They should be able to modify the image if you send them the original. <BR>

she's sending it to a mag. 300 dpi is probably minimum.

First figure out what your resolution (dpi) is on your image. <BR> <BR>If you have a 72 dpi image and are trying to convert it to a 300 dpi image that will not work. <BR> <BR>It maybe best to shoot at very high quality setting in your camera, preferably TIFF. TIFF will normally output to a 300 dpi image, resulting in excellent print material. It is always easier to scale down a high resolution image (300 dpi) as opposed to a low resolution 72 dpi jpeg. <BR> <BR>If you look in your digital camera manual there will be an instruction guide for what the best output would be for either print or web. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Pierce Bronkite on October 28, 2003)
