DPI

I have an image that needs to be at least 200 DPI, but I haven't a clue as to how to do this.[nbsp][nbsp]Any advice?

TIA!

Well, your question is quite vague, so here's a couple of varied answers:

1) If you are importing the image from a scanner, your software should provide you the option of specifying the capture resolution.[nbsp][nbsp]It's as simple as selecting or typing in 200 and scanning into your graphics program.

2) If your existing image is scanned already, and is in a higher resolution (for example, 300dpi, 600dpi, etc.) then you should look for an option of Adjust Image Size, or Adjust Size.[nbsp][nbsp]In this option, you will most likely be given an opportunity to change several different aspects of image size, with one box reflecting the current image resolution.[nbsp][nbsp]Simply change the resolution to 200, and click OK to change the resolution.[nbsp][nbsp]You will notice a decrease in the image size on-screen, do not let this alarm you as the print size will still remain the same.

3)[nbsp][nbsp]If your existing image is scanned already, and is in a lower resolution (72dpi, 100dpi, etc.) then you should follow that same procedure.[nbsp][nbsp]Beware, however, sampling your image up forces the program to interpret those new pixels, and the image is going to be less "sharp" than it would be normally, and will print out slower.[nbsp][nbsp]You will also notice an increase in on-screen size, but print size will remain the same.

Best of luck.

Thanx ;) .[nbsp][nbsp]I have an image that was created in PSP.[nbsp][nbsp]I need it at least 200 dpi, and couldn't figure out how to do this in PSP :(

I've done it before, but couldn't remember how I did it! - brain warp!

Will try your suggestions, thanx!
