Very valuable information. Thank you very much, but can you explain me if it’s possible, when we download images from the net it’s mostly blurry images like 72 dpi images but it seems quality images on screen on the net, but when we import it in corel draw it seems very blurry, then What should we do to get an high defination image there will be any chance to make that blurry image into high defination image.

Hi Lauren,

I’m needing to create some photo images to print (up to 24 x16) in size and the company doing my printing can print up to 1440 dpi. I’m printing onto fabric so I’m hoping the higher dpi will look clearer.

When I take pictures with my camera,and open them in photoshop, they always open up as 300 dpi. How can I change this to 720 or 1440? Also, can I reduce them in inches and still keep them at the same or better dpi?

My camera is only 5 megapixels. Do I need a new camera?

Thanks!

I don’t have much experience with billboards and large banners. The required resolution partly depends on the viewing distance and your quality requirements. Consult with your printer as they should have some clear guidelines.
The local specialist specify on their web site that the file should be scaled to 1/10 and be 300 dpi. For your banner that means an image of roughly 10500 x 2400 pixels.

Resolution is just one of the numerous parameters that may explain why an image is blurry. Things like image compression, paper type and press settings are just as likely to cause that problem.

Yes! I have read your suggestion about resolution. Last time I made a color desing for daily news paper using 300dpi the result which was produced by the paper is very bad, It look blur which makes me very unhappy!!

It more or less depends on the industry you are in.
- In photography the term ‘resolution’ is used to describe the number of pixels (e.g. 3000×2000 pixels). – In graphic arts resolution usually refers to the number of pixels per inch (the ‘ppi’ or ‘dpi’ value). I’ve rewritten the text to make this clear.

“The image of the bird has a resolution of 3000×2000 pixels or 6 megapixels.”

I always knew that’s the size , not the resolution.

Resolution is the amount of detail in a specific area, such as 254DPI or 100dpcm or 254ppm…

Is this wrong ?

Thanks
