Whoa! OP did not say the request was by the printing company.

Of course he did. Here, I'll help you:

It doesn't take a giant leap to arrive at the conclusion that it's to a
printing company. What other company would do the printing - an auto
shop?

Monte What resolution do I need to set my camera at to acheive a 300 dpi or
Monte equivilent photo.

Monte I have been asked to send a photo to a company for printing. They
Monte want it at 300 dpi and I am not sure how to achieve this.

Oh geez. Another company saying "300 dpi" without a clue.

DIGITAL IMAGES ARE NOT "dpi". Pixels do *not* have a size.

There's absolutely *nothing* wrong with a printing company saying
'make all yoru images 300dpi'. Why should they measure every image in
your document and calculate precisely how many pixels big it should
be?

Pixesl *do* have a size.

Its ok if the printer is talking to a designer. That person knows the size
of the finished product. I get the sense that the OP is not at that level of
the project or the question would not have been asked here.



Pixesl *do* have a size.

Oh good....just how big is one?

That is *still* not the printer's problem.

It's a very small piece of string long and a possibly slightly
different but still quite small piece of string wide.

Grrr....I am loosing track of this....I do recall that you are wrong....and
not very bright to argue something that you know so little about. Oh
well....as long as you are happy.
