I know there are a lot of photographer types round here- can I ask for a bit of clarification on one aspect of digital work? My wife takes a lot of photos for print and sends them via email to the mags, etc. A high proportion of the time they are sent back as too low DPI (not helped by the fact we’ve never ever been able to work out how to check default DPI on a Mac). These images come up on my PC as huge size but 100 DPI (the overall pixel sizes are vast).
All I do it move the images over to my PC- stick them in photoshop- reduce the size of the image to 2/3 and- low and behold- their DPI has now cranked itself up to 300 and print shops are quite happy. Surely DPI is only a function of image size rather than an absolute so ‘not being the right DPI’ is irrelevant? Am I missing something here?
