300 dpi

I´m a musician and need to send photos to newspapers in 300 dpi. When I export them from iPhoto, they are always 72 dpi. What can I change them to 300 dpi?
HELP!

Hi there,
I think you may need to ask the newspaper for a bit more information.
dpi in the print world is much different than dpi in the digital world. The majority of digital cameras take photos at 72 dpi, I don't believe you need to worry about this. The 300 dpi the newspaper is referring to is more or less the quality of a scanned image. I think if you are emailing these photos you should ask them what is their "preferred resolution". Resolution in the digital world refers to the dimensions in pixels, you can, somewhat, adjust resolution in iPhoto.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
Your time and assistance in appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tonefox!
After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
Inches = Pixels/DPI
eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
Which is great!
So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?
I have been trying to convert images created in webex and transferred to illustrator into 300 dpi tifs. They download as ucf's when generated on white board. Or I have to upload files from other webex participants coming in at 72 dpi, converting them to something bigger in photoshop to paint in before taking them back into the webex session as a doc that then gets worked on further during the session. Later they go into illustrator for some more work with vectors. That's fine for the web but now a publisher wants them as 300 dpi tifs and I can only get things back & forth as 72 dpi pdf's. If I try to bump them up with a resample, they come out teensy weensy. What am I missing and is there any way to make them look good?

What I need is to be able to transfer the images between formats without degradation of the resolution and find ways to sharpen what I have even if I can't increase pixels. If the original I'm delivered is a 96 dpi power point slide, for example, that's what I have to work with, I'm using Illustrator to compensate with vectors. But then I still need to get it back to a 300 dpi tiff to meet the specs.

LaserJet 1200 Econo Mode 300 dpi 600 dpi

I just got a new HP tower, and when I hooked up the Laserjet 1200 series printer, It's printing very dark. I went into the control panel, as I had done in the past, and it doesn't show the economode tab for the toner, it says 300 dpi, 600 dpi, I've tried both and they both seem the same, not like the old economode. Please, can you tell me what is the best way to save toner. I do a lot of printing, and LOVE the Laserjet, I actually have two of them, PS, Just got the hp p6110y tower- It's awesome.
I thank you in advance for any assistance you might offer.

Hi , I see by your post that you are unable to set the Econo mode and Print Density on the printer. I would like to help you.
Did you download and install the latest HP LaserJet Pro Series Full Solution Software and Driver? Check Devices and Printers window and let me know how the printer name is listed. Can you send me a screen shot of the printer Properties please, so I can have a look at it. You could install a separate Universal driver for printing and you should have all the available options. Then the original driver can be used for scanning, just don't delete it from the Devices and Printers window. HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 (32-bit).

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

Export 300 dpi file from multiple apps, but it is received at 72 dpi

Hi,
I need HELP please.
I am creating a print job that needs to be output at 300 dpi. I have created the file in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Each time I set the file up as a 300 dpi file. I create the art, then I output. I have output both as an app original file (.psd, .ai, etc.) and as a .jpg and as a High Quality (Print) .pdf. But, when each of them is opened by another computer, the dpi is identified as 72 dpi. When they send the file back to me and I open it on my computer, it is identified as a 300 dpi.
Initially I had this problem with PS and I thought it was a PS problem. I worked with the folks at Adobe and they can't find a solution. Then, in desparation I had to get the file done, so I re-created everything in AI and had the same problem. Then in ID and had the same problem. (BTW - I'm using CS5.5). So, now I think that it's a Mac problem, not an Adobe problem.
Any ideas?

PS - I use a 17" Mac Book Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7; OS X 10.6.8 with an Apple Cinema Display 30" set to display at 1600 X 1200 (so I can read it as I'm not 19 any more)
Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out!!!

Let me see if I am understanding this correctly, you create a PSD file at 300dpi, then you save this and reopen on your computer and it is still 300dpi, then you send this file as a psd to your client, and they open it and tell you that it is only 72dpi, then they send the same file back to you and it is at 300dpi on your computer again.
Are you sending the file via email, cd or flash drive?
Is the file sent in its raw psd state or is it being compressed with .zip, or .sit or anything like that?
Could you send me the file so I can confirm if the file is indeed 72dpi.
Otherwise this sounds like almost impossible behaviour to me.

PDF does not display 300 dpi images in Safari only

I have a dynamically generated PDF that contains a 300 dpi image. The image added can be one of several that the user selects. On all other browsers the pdf renders fine. On Safari only, seemingly in all modern flavors of OSx and Safari, the images begin to print and then stops printing the actual image and grey is printed in the remaining space the image would take up. To make it more fun one of the images renders fine. It is the 3rd smallest image and the 2 smaller ones do not render so it does not seem to be size related. Hoping someone here has seen this before.
This is a screenshot to use as an example:
The folding instructions graphic is also 300dpi.

Thanks Hackintosh.
It prints as it views, as a corrupt jpeg. I also dug into console and it confirmed there was an error about a corrupt jpg. The most interesting thing is if I open the bad pdf in Photoshop the whole image is there with no signs of corruption. This leads me to believe it's something with how OSx and/or Safari are rendering the jpgs. Another curious sidenote, Safari on Windows works fine but if you save the pdf, move it to a mac and open it, you get the corrupted jpg again.
I think I'm going to try and stop swimming upstream now. At the end of the day I don't care if the images are pngs, tiffs, or eps. I'm going to try feeding a few different formats and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

PDF files do not have a "resolution" - they aren't images. The pages are a mix of vector art and text, and raster (pixel-based) graphics. The raster items on a page can (and often do) have different resolutions.

Help converting pages document with images over to a 300 dpi jpg file

Hi
I'm pretty new to using Pages. I have created a 4 page Pages document with a lot of iphoto images. It's for a elementary school yearbook. The publisher ulitmately needs a 300 dpi jpg file.
How do I convert the pages document into a 300 dpi jpg?
I tried to convert it first to a pdf then to a 300 dpi jpg but when I sent that file over, they said that when they zoomed in, the images all looked blurry.
Any ideas on what to do without having to start all over again? Worst case, I guess I can print out in best quality, scan and save as jpg but there's got to be an easier way.
I'm not a graphic designer, just trying to fuddle my way through so you'll have to go easy on me with the techno speak. Any cliff notes for mac beginners?
Thanks much in advance for any help!

The conversion isn't perfect between Pages and Word. The same font is handle differently in the two applications and so are many other things too. If you are concerned about how it looks use Pdf versions instead.

How do I create a 300 dpi PDF from a Word 2003 file?

I need to convert a Word (2003) file to a High-res PDF file for the printers. They have requested 300 dpi.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version).
The file contains a number of pictures in jpg format. Most of these are pretty high resolution. The document printed in Word on a laser printer looks fine.
I did try saving the file a a PDF file, and that did work, however it was low resolution. There must be some settings I have to change. How do I set things so it will creat a high resolution PDF file?

There is no such thing as resolution of a PDF file. Text and vectors in PDF are preserved and get scaled depending on the device on which PDF is shown.
Images in PDF do have a resolution that you can set when creating PDF. When printing your file from Word:
After File>Print, select printer properties.
In "ADobe PDF Settings" tab, you will see "Default Settings" - click the Edit button next to it.
In the Images pane, select your desired resolution.

Save PDF to Folder as Jpeg/300 dpi

Question about exporting custom book design into Jpegs/300 dpi. I do it, it seems to be working and then once it stops I can't find the file with the jpegs of the book design. Not sure if it's saving and if it is where it's saving to? I went into automator (which I know nothing about) and when I run the 'save PDF to folder as jpeg" action, I get an error message. Help! Thanks in advance!

Installing Aperture again will not affect your library, so there is no risk doing that.

Why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits?

why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits like color correction?

It is not compressing your photos other than normal JPEG cpompression
DPI is meaningless without inches (Dots per Inch) which digital photos do not have
There is a field in the EXIF data that records a DPI but it is meaningless - basically it says that this photos was displayed on a computer screen which is a 72 DPI device
The photo is exactly the same dimensions and resolution as before editing (unless you cropped it)
See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

Export Print Press Quality at 300 dpi vs. Interactive at 150 dpi

When I export a file from InDesign using the Press Quality preset, 300 dpi, I get a smaller file size than when I export it as an Interactive PDF with the dpi set at 150. Just wondering why?

300 dpi. I'm attaching some screen shots for the two settings, interactive and print quality. When exporting, you are given some choices for "interactive", "print", "epub", etc. The two things I'm wondering about are interactive and print formats. As I understand it, the Interactive format is better for viewing on devices such as iPads, etc. I'm just puzzled as to why the file size is larger even though my DPI settings are lower.

300 dpi
