Photograph dpi sizes
JaspersMum:
I have a couple of photos that I want to enter into a photo competition but the rules state they should be 300dpi.
One of the photos is 2930 x 1954 and the other 1805 x 2303 so how do I know the dpi or change it?
Aearoniel:
The dpi is the resolution of the image when printed, so both those sizes could still have a resolution of 300dpi. Do you have to print the image to enter it? Otherwise you could play around with resolution in your imaging software.

No, it says you can submit on a disc which is what threw me as I did a bit of research this morning and it all pointed to the print size - wondered if I had missed something :huh:
Pammy:
I think it's for when they print them. dpi is normally used in relation to printing ;)
Helen:
your pic is probably 72dpi (is the norm from a canon 400d or 350d which i assume is what you're using?) you will need to get into a programme like photoshop to change the image size.
now if you change it to 300dpi you will consequently increase the image size so that will need to be reduced.
I get images of 2930 x 1954 as pretty much standard on my 400d, and they are always 72 dpi.
