Re: DPI?

[James Schenken <jds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marilyn:

Just a guess but it sounds like the software at the other end is not recognizing the DPI information and using the lower number.  If that is so, the image dimensions will be 4 or 3 times greater.

For example, if you send an 8x10 image scaled at 600 DPI at your end, it could come out as 24x30 at 200 DPI at there end.  Same image, same pixels, just a dimensional change without resampling.  Check with the recipient to see if this is so.

You could send me, off-list a small junk image scaled the same way and I'll tell you what I receive.

Cheers,

James

Hello All,

 

I hope the holidays are going well for everyone and I wish you all the best for 2013.

 

I’m having a problem and I’m hoping someone may be able to help me out.

 

I’m sending images via e-mail to a publishing source.  When I size the images (drawings) at my end – I size them 600 DPI.  When they arrive at the other end, they are only 150-200 DPI.  I’ve read and listened to a Photoshop tutorial about sizing images, but what it suggests doesn’t help me.

 

Can anyone explain what happens to the DPI during transit and how I can correct it?
