How to save Photos in 300 DPI

Hi,
I am submitting photos to be included in my new book, and the publisher wants 300 DPI.
When checking my photos, they are saved to 72 and I cant find a way to save them in the
300 format. Ideas?
Thanks
Bella

DPI - Dots Per Inch - is meaningless for digital photos until you print them. Then to have a 300 dpi photo you need 300 dots (pixels) per inch of printed photo - so a photo to be printed at 1" x 1" needs to be 300 pixels x 300 pixels - one to be printed at 4" x 6" needs to be 1200 pixels x 1800 pixels -- once to be printed at 20" x 30" needs to be 6000 pixels x 9000 pixels.

    How to save photo from iPad to external memory card?

    It's very difficult.  I have read where some people have done this with much angst.  You can use the camera connection kit to load pictures to your iPad.  The reverse is not really supported.  A much simpler solution would be to email the photo to your home email account and then copy it to external memory.

    Hi,
    Anyone know how to save photos from Facebook or from Facebook messenger on the Asha 210? Can't seem to find a way to save photos people post or send me to my phone.

    hi mate if there are no options within the Facebook app, the only other thing you can try is visiting the mobile version of the Facebook website thru the phone browser itself, and seeing if there is a save picture option in there..

  • Iphoto converting edited photos from 300 dpi to 72 dpi

    I edit RAW photos and save as Jpeg The dpi reduces from 300 dpi to 72. I have seen an archived discussion saying basically this does not matter. The size of my photo is 3872x2592 for 2.4mb when edited. Unfortunately a newspaper has refused to print a photo as they will only print at 300 dpi.  I have converted this photo back to 300 dpi using preview but apparently 'blowing up the pixels blurs them?  Is there any way I can edit and still maintain 300 dpi?

    Yes you can do tat but it akes NO DIFFERENCE - the newspapr has no idea how digital photography works
    see http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html for more details
    Simply put no digital file has any DPI (yes there is a DPI field in the EXIF data but it is simply a number and any competent printer simply ignores is since it is meaningless
    DPI is dots per inch and therefore can not exist until you have "Inches" - until you print - then DPI is a simple mathmatical calbulation - the dots (pixels) divided by inches (Dots Per Inch)
    If you give the newspaper a 3872x2592 file then they can print it up to 12.9066667 Inches x 8.64 inches at 300 DPI (3872/300 x 2592/300)  --  if the print is suppose to be larger than that then you need a higher resolution camera
    And although it makes no difference newspapers do not need more than about 120 DPI because of the overall quality of their printing

  • How to save photos in original size with iPhoto?

    I import my DSLM pictures (4000x3000) per camera connection kit to iPad. I would like to edit the pictures (in Photo Stream) with Photos and iPhotos, but both apps automatically reduce the picture size  to my iPad resolution when saving - which is
    not so brilliant. Now the manual says that this should happen in original size (!). So, please tell me how to do thsi?

  • How do I set to 300 DPI when exporting?

    I have a real problem here. I use an Apple iMac with the base software, iPhoto.
    When I export and burn to a CD, the photos are evidently being exported at a very low (72) DPI. I've had complaints from publishers and a stock agency that my images are not at 300 DPI. Yet I cannot figure out how to set DPI when exporting.
    One stock agency owner told me to click on "preferences" and look there for where to set DPI. I did so, and found nothing whatsoever about DPI settings. He (the stock agency owner) doesn't use an Apple, so he was probably basing his "preferences" suggestion on where one would go if they were using a Windows-based program, or if one were using Photoshop.
    If anyone can tell me how to set the DPI using the software I have I would appreciate it. I don't need to know how to do this in Photoshop or Aperture, as I don't have these programs, and I do not intend to get another editing program. How do you do it using only iPhoto - that's my dilemma.
    Thanks!

    Tom:
    DPI only comes into play when you set a size to be printed. Say you have an image that is 1600 x 1200 pixels in size. iPhoto when exported would report it at 72 dpi and a print size of 22.22 inches x 16.66 inches. If you you wanted a 300 dpi print from that photo you would have to print it at 5.33 inches x 4 inches.
    It doesn't make any difference what the dpi is reported as long as the pixel dimensions are large. What size prints are offered by the stock agency? Take the largest that you photos would be offered at and multiple each dimension by 300 to get the number of pixels you would need to provide in the file. For example an 8 x 10 would require a minimum of 2400 x 3000 pixels. An 11 x 14 - 3300 x 4200 pixels.
    To get a photo to report a specific dpi it must be set to be printed at a particular size. Photoshop can do that. The print size is included with the other info embedded in the file that would let other image applications see the dpi and the print size. For more info on this read The Myth of DPI. Watch this video screenshot of changing the dpi of a photo in Photoshop. Watch as the print size changes with dpi changing but the pixel dimensions remain the same.
    iPhoto cannot set the print size for exporting.
    Bottom line: if you were to provide an image at 3300 x 4200 pixels (an 11x14) it should be sufficient for any size up to that size. Photoshop Elements for Mac, at $79 (Amazon.com) has about 75% of Photoshop's capabilities at 1/7 the cost. It's really a very powerful, consumer oriented image editor. Ask them what the minimum pixel dimensions are for the photos.

  • How to save photos from an external memory

    How do I save photos to my new MacBook Air from an external memory (StoreEdge)? And how do I know where the photos that I can view in Iphoto are stored? I thought I had copied a whole Iphoto library from StoreEdge to my MacBook, but when I try to remove the StoreEdge it says that it's not possible because it's being used.

    You can import the photos into iPhoto by using the iPhoto File menu "Import to Library."
    The default location for the iPhoto Library is username/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    You should only work with the library using iPhoto (i.e., don't attempt to open the library and work with the files inside directly from Finder).

  • 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.

  • How do I reduce a 300 dpi

    In Freehand 8 version  9.2.2 how do I reduce a file size 1,813,841 bytes (map 48" x 40") without reducing the 300 dpi? I am on a (at least 10 year old IMAC) using OS X 10.2.8

    Assuming your map is vector and not raster, try the "Simplify" xtra at the smallest amount of simplification (0.1).
    - go to "Xtras" - "Cleanup" - "Simplify" (the smallest amount of simplification 0.1 usually has little affect on the appearance but reduces file sizes considerably.)
    - duplicate the layer to be simplified and move the original layer to Background so you can compare simplified linework with the original to see if accuracy has been affected. Then delete the unnecessary layer. Don't forget to keep a backup copy of your original drawing.
    - if "Simplify" command fails, select and simplify smaller areas.
    Also, get rid of any unused junk around the drawing like unnecessary embedded images etc.
