You need to tighten the DPI screw

I had the same problem.. and i was adviced to take the photos on the highest setting then resample them in photoshop to 300 dpi. Im not sure if this was good advice but providing you dont want your images to print really big i think you might be able to get away with it.. I think SLR cameras can take at 300 dpi but im not sure!

Norman? Going to OU or something?

apite · 30-04-2006, 17:02

No I don't go to OU and I live that place. I am attending at other college than OU.

So its not that great thing about digital camera but I just refresh my mind but its seem I hope that what its suppose.

I just setting my digital camera the high set and I pull that picture from device into my computer and look at dpi. The dpi turn out to be 144. I try to set 300 and its look bad. So.. I try drag from that to new document that already set 300 dpi. Its look same after I drag image to document.

Its will be same as dpi or will that follow the new document that I set 300dpi? I am curious...

Yea---

300 dpi is good for anything as I get grade or otherwise.. if they find out that less 300 dpi, I GET a beautiful "0". I do'nt think so...

dpi refers to print resolution - it has nothing to do with your camera settings.

If i were you I'd find a better college as they've obviously failed to teach you the basics.

Assuming that you are using PS CS2:
Open the image
Go to Image>Image Size
Unclick the box next to Resample image
Type 300 in the box next to Resolution
Save image
Explore tranfer option
