Subject: DPI?
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?
Easiest way is to work out what they are asking for and send it in the
correct size *in pixels* - if they want a 8x10 at 600 ppi, then that's a
4800x6000 pixel image, if they want a 4x5 then it's 2400x3000 pixel image.
ppi isn't important, only the size is.. PS was the wrst thing to happen to
comprehending pixels :/
