How do i change export dpi to 300 in Lightroom?

I find when exporting tiffs or editing images in external editor from lightroom files are always at 240dpi but i want to use 300 dpi, how do i change this?

First of all, why is it relevant?
Second, for exporting, it's in the export dialog. For editing, it's in the preferences.

  • How do you change the dpi of a pdf?

    I'm really confused as to how to change my dpi to 300. I'm not even really sure how I can check what it is?
    Thanks!

    The question is very vague, perhaps a little wrong of way to ask on how to do this way. But, there are different PDF settings, depending on specific output you want it to be outputted as PDF file.
    Frank is correct about imbedded graphic (or photo files) with specific DPI setting, then import it into PDF file.
    However, you didn't say which PDF generator you are outputting it to from? Plus, you didn't say what kind of PDF output you want it to be set up? So I don't know what to say unless I know the specific information you are looking for. Because PDF topic is a very broad topic. As PDF technology evolves, so is its option varies.
    Cheers, Brian

  • How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing.  Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • How do you change the dpi on photos?

    I am writing a book and inserting old photos into it.   These photos were scanned by people and sent by e-mail.   I need to change the dpi on the photos to 300 dpi for printing purposes.   I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.   Thank you.

    Actually, you don't need to change the resolution (which is PPI, not DPI), and anyway, you can't do this unnecessary thing in Lightroom. You do need to have enough pixels in the image to print at the desired size. So, for example, if the book calls for a 4x6 space to be filled with your photo, then you would need a photo that is 1200x1800 pixels (or larger). If your book requires the photos outside of Lightroom, then you would Export the photo (if necessary, enlarged) to the desired number of pixels, as in the example.
    I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.
    So based on the fact that this is an unnecessary task, and that Lightroom won't do this anyway, your first project is now completed.

  • How do I change the dpi in illustrator?

    I created an image in illustrator and saved it as a jpeg. When I took it to print in the shop they told me the image had the wrong dpi (72). How can I change this so that I can print the image?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    When you save the file as .jpg there is a dialog that opens that allows you
    to set the resolution. 72 is the (old) standard for internet images because
    older monitors worked at 72hz and pixels were scanned 1/1 at that rate.
    With today's falt screen monitors, scan rate is a thing of the past so only
    pixel count size is relevant fro web display. For print, simply set the dpi
    to high (300) or more (custom).
    Also, you'll need to discus with the print shop what formats thay like to
    use best. .jpg is not often used for print, CMYK .tiff is used more often
    along with .pdf production ready.

  • How can i change the DPI of an image to 400 in illustrator?

    I'm very stuck with trying to change the DPI of an image to 400 so that it is ready to print and the resolution will be fine once printed but i have no idea how to do this in illustrator?

    dpi,
    If you are talking about a raster image placed in Illy, you can only change the size to get the desired PPI/DPI.
    If you are talking about raster effects or a raster image created in Illy, you may set the desired resolution of raster effects, or the desired resolution or total pixel x pixel size of the exported/saved image.
    If you are talking about pure vector artwork, the resolution depends on your printer (driver) (settings), as Doug said.

  • Changing 72 dpi to 300 dpi

    I purchased a stock photo and it's size was 72 dpi. Is it safe to change a file from 72 dpi to 300 dpi? What should I be concerned with when I do this? Any recommendations.
    Also, If I change it from 72 to 300 should I make it smaller?
    Thanks

    open file
    image> image size (copy Width as noted in screenshot)
    type in targe resolution in Resolution
    go back to Width, paste in original number
    notice your file (pixel dimensions) MB did not change (only the resolution)...this is one of the few moves you can make in Photoshop without degrading your pixel information (another one in image rotation)

  • How do you change the dpi in Illustrator and save as pdf?

    I've created a file in Illustrator cs4 that I need to change the 350 dpi of and to save as a pdf before having it sent out to be printed. I've found ways to change the ppi...but will that do the same thing as changing the dpi? Any advice would be much appreciated!

    This might explain it
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370714
    The device has the dpi not the file itself the file has a ppi resolution the screens are prepared in lpi.
    The above explains it the highest resolution I have ever been asked for was 350 ppi for offset printing 300ppi is normal.
    In other word you do not control the dpi as Steve mentions.

  • How do I change the dpi setting when I am saving for the web?

    I need to chnge the dpi setting from the default of 72 to 300 when saving for the web.  How do I do that?

    You go by pixel dimensions for the web because that's all that computer screens use.
    dpi or rather ppi is a print specification.
    In this example, Image > Image Size    I have unchecked resampling and set the ppi to 300. You can see how small it's going to print on paper as opposed to maybe 100 ppi.  It will still retain the same pixel dimensions.
    You basically focus on a good pixel size for the the browser display.

  • How do I change export settings in Compressor 4?

    In the old compressor, I could export a movie and choose all my own settings pertaining to size, quality, streaming or not, keyframe rate, data rate, compression type, aspect ratio, etc..., same was true of the old Final Cut.  So in making FCP X, they removed that functionality and forced me to go through Compressor to have that ability.  Now they've upgraded Compressor and, apparently, removed that functionality from there, as well.  So where do I go to have control over any of that?  Is it possible anymore?  Come on, Apple, don't make it more difficult.  I'm all for upgrading a software's interface to make it more user-friendly, but don't take away functionality, please.

    Found some info...
    Had to save the export to the custom area, but the main thing I was missing was to show the inspector window.  Once there I could manage all the settings I was complaining about
    Peace.  Thanks, Apple.  Sorry for jumping the gun.

  • Dropping frames in render.. How do i change export frame rate

    I have a film clip shot on the canon 5d which shoots only at 30fps. This was no issue in FCP as the preferences allow changing the frame rate.
    The project plays fine in color, but when it comes time to render the settings are locked at 25fps. This results in sync issues once sent back to FCP.
    Is there anyway to get around this? Is there a preference somewhere that allows me to change the frame rate in color?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • How can I capture a frame with a dpi of 300 or more?

    I took a HD video and edited it in Premiere Elements 12. I want to lift out some frames to submit as still shots for a magazine article. They need resolution of 300 dpi or higher.  The only function I found in Premiere Elements was "freeze frame" which saves/exports a frame as a .bmp with a resolution of 72.  Anyone know how to save it with higher resolution? (FYI, I also have Photoshop Elements 12.)

    expressiveglass
    One way....
    1. Video on Video Track 1 of your HD project, with Timeline Indicator on frame for Freeze Frame
    a. Tools Menu/Freeze Frame.
    b. In Freeze Frame dialog, check mark next to "Edit in Photoshop Elements after inserting" and check mark next to "Insert in movie".
    c. Hit "Insert in movie" button.
    d. When Photoshop Elements 12 opens, the Image Menu/Resize/Image Size.
    e. In the Image Size dialog, change the Resolution to 300 pixels per inch
    f. File Menu/Save As to jpg file.
    To get back to Premiere Elements 12, in Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, File Menu/Exit.
    Does that work for you?

  • If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it best to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?

    If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it better to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?  I want the best quality for any future unforeseen use. 

    I am somewhat reluctant to answer your questions after Frank Caggiano's excellent advice, but I really do not like to leave the question open, for there will be many occasions when you will need to export images and to understand how it works.
    But please, follow Frank's advice, right now you do not need to worry about pixels and dpi. That is exactly what I meant, when I suggested to you to make sure you keep a copy of your Aperture Library and to back it up with all your other data, before you erase your disk for a clean reinstall.
    DPI revisited:
    So, is the dpi setting only for exporting to print?
    The dpi settings are necessary to define the size of a digital image, since pixels don't have any dimensions. And since you cannot print or display an image without knowing its width and height, you will need to specify dpi when you are printing or scanning.
    If I leave it at the default 72dpi will there be any problems getting quality prints in the future from jpeg versions exported with that setting?
    Not if you export with the original size - the maximum number of pixels available. That will ensure the maximum print quality.
    The dpi settings are required to export versions; versions are derived from the masters and new image files are computed. When you export masters you get a copy of the original file that already may have a dpi setting.
    If I choose "export masters", will aperture will export my masters just as they are? 
    yes, and  you may add IPICT data if you choose
    Pardon my thick skull--I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks in this digital world!
    No apologies necessary, we were all beginners once
    Here is another example, maybe that helps a little:
    I exported an image (jpeg) with three different setting: export masters, a version with 72dpi, a version with 300dpi and inspected the files in Graphic Converter:
    The master was exported like this:
    Notice, the master had already dpi settings, although I did not specify any on export.
    The size is 51,48 cm x 38,61 cm.
    The 72 dpi Version has larger dimensions, but also 10 Megapixels.
    and here the 300 dpi version: smaller dimensions, same amount of pixels.
