Changing photo resolutionMy digital camera is a Canon EOS Rebel. I shoot at the highest resolution 8 megapixels, but when I bring my photos into Photoshop, the resolution is only 72 dpi. How do I increase the resolution to the recommended 300dpi? Sorry to sound so dumb, but this is a learning curve for me.

Select image resize from PS menu and change 72 to 300. |

Just to clarify, it’s actually called "Image Size" on the PS menu. And be sure to UNCHECK the box that says "Resample Image", otherwise your actual image dimensions will also be modified accordingly (which you probably don’t want). |

Hi Karen; Stop now – don’t worry about it! DPI is a massively confusing matter when first encountered; but overall it’s not worth losing any sleep over… Your images are almost certainly fine as they are… As a Canon user; if you’re not already a member, I highly recommend that you sign-up (for free) to POTN Photography-on-the-Net; it’s a GREAT forum and a goldmine of infomation… Go to: http://photography-on-the.net/ When you’re signed up, read the thread; http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83445 It should answer all your questions; and if it doesn’t – there’s tons more info on there… Good luck; Lee |
