Any help would be appreciated Stan Visual Arts Photography You shouldn't top-post, that's for email. The effective resolution of photo paper is around 200-250 ppi. By keeping the resolution of your digital images above 300 ppi you ensure that no pixilation will be detectable on your final output. Marc |

I hope you're kidding about that, cause several answers above are much clearer than the one you provided. yeah, that's why the original poster had to ask their question again????? several of the previous responses were not clear, nor correct. and by the way, resolution on screen is rated in PIXELS per inch (ppi), not dots (dpi), therefore you want your resolution set to 300ppi. I'd ignore that statement. It is illogical as the two statements do not belong in the same sentence. Just because you've added a "therefore" does not make it true. you're an idiot. digital images are rate at pixels per inch, not dots per inch. And I'll tell you why: the resolution of the monitor is usually about 72 to 96 ppi (divide the resolution you're running your monitor at by the monitor's image area and you'll see). moron. i never said anything about screen resolution. So 300 ppi for a digital image has nothing to do with what the monitor is displaying (unless you're designing web pages). idiot. you missed my entire point. i'm surprised you know how to use a ng. There's a much, much deeper reason for using 300 ppi for digital images. big fat dummy. |

Any help would be appreciated Stan Visual Arts Photography photographic print resoltion should always be thought of as 300ppi. you may be able to get away with less from an inkjet, but if you output with a pro digital printer, you will see the loss of quality. |

"J C" wrote in message ... On Tue, 30 Dec 2003 01:16:36 -0700, Marc 182 As a simple example, lets take a one color laser printer and a one color TIF file at 300 dpi (the explanation for inkjet printing is a bit more complex). what is dpi? i looked in photoshop and i couldn't find anything that said dpi. AND NOW to answer why a 300 dpi image is a standard... holy crap you are a MORON. nobody is talking about press printing. we are talking about PHOTOGRAPHIC resolution. you just typed a ton of garbage that nobody asked to hear. one person asks what the 'deeper' meaning behind 300ppi was, and you go off on a psychotic rampage talking about press print and printing with ONE color????? |

That's because that's MUST be the starting point to understanding. Here's why... what exactly do you think happens in the print engine when you print your 300 ppi color image on an inkjet. Do you really think that the inkjet produces a one-to-one correspondence between the image information and the inkjet "dots" on the paper. It does not. Your inkjet can break that down into 720 or 1440 dpi. So what exactly do you think is happening? Additionally, when you print on real photographic paper, do you think that each there's a perfectly shaped grid of exposed chemicals on the paper. There is not. To understand, really understand, the recommendations for image resolution you need to start with the basics and work your way up. The digital resolution recommendations started a long time before there even was such a thing as a desktop digital color printer. And there is a reason for that... but if you don't want to know the reason that's okay with me. -- JC |

Just because I don't mag print doesn't mean I'm not interested in the details. He was on- charter, on-topic, and maybe just a little off-point, ...but no, he was on point too. You shouldn't seek to speak for everyone else, just for yourself. Marc Thanks for the vote of confidence Marc. People get really tied up in their personal explanations for the rationale behind digital image resolutions and often don't see the bigger picture that lead to the recommendations in the first place. -- JC |
