Title: Graphic design/photoshop help needed
Post by: Travelbat on November 23, 2012, 08:01:35 pm
Hello,

I've been stuck here for a little while now, trying to get some holiday greeting cards ordered. While I am trying to upload the files for postcards, I'm told it has insufficient DPI. Can that be changed in any way with a simple Photoshop, or do I need to look for a converter? These designs have been resized for emailing (I thought that would be sufficient for prints (http://"http://print24.com/uk/product/postcards
")), and the raw copies are still on the memory stick. Can anyone kindly let me know if there is a way to "stretch" the DPI's? Thank you!

You can change the DPI by going into Image->Image Size in Photoshop. Does it give a preferred DPI on the photo printing site? I usually export at 240DPI for prints. Bear in mind that you increase the size of the image every time you increase the DPI.

Hi Dave,

I did find the option on Photoshop, thank you for the helping me figure this one out! I think the minimum required is 300 DPI to get them printed, for which I may need to dig up the original size shots.... Thanks again for the details, enjoy your weekend!
