hi there,

advice please..........

not necessarily... the human eye can only resolve a certain amount of detail and to print more detail than that might not be necessary...For printouts you should always use a high DPI.
actually, DPI refers more to prints, where the image is made up of printed dots... whereas PPI refers more to monitors, where the image is made up of pixels... but in general discussion, they are usually not differentiated... so I wouldn't exactly call DPI obsolete...However this term is misleading, DPI actually is obsolete, it is the PPI (pixels per inch) that actually makes the difference.
that's because the image on screen is still displayed at the monitor's resolution, which for LCDs is fixed... whereas in prints, the image might be printed at different resolutions...I'm also kinda confused but on print you'll see the difference, not on screen. a 50dpi vs a 800dpi on screen is identical, just bigger file size. But print that out and you'll see
if you are taking about photo printing at digitlabs, minimum requirement is 250 PPI, send them files in 300 PPI are very safe, eg 1800 x 1200 pixel for 4R photos
I see, just give them in 300 dpi, it wouldn't able to print 8R liao.how about the minimum quality setting without affecting the 4R picture?

but he can do resize to 8R right?
yes i'm talking about photo printing at digilabs(like those normal neighbourhood photoshop).
i'm trying to use photoshop CS to change the sizes. my basic requirements is:
1) to print out at 4R size.
2) to have the right resolution for 4R size yet discouraging the receipient to blow up the picture as he'll be given the soft copy for 4R.
so what should my resolution be base on my requirements above?
thanks in advance for any responses......
I think Jacob is referring to his customers, something like pay little money get small files, pay more money get full resolution files.send them a 300dpi one lor... for 4R it is 1800 x 1200 pixels.
else a 250dpi one: 1500 x 1000 pixels.
come on, they handle many many photos. they wont steal ur photo or blow it up. at most they see it only. haha.
if u don't trust them, then print it at home urself :bsmilie:

ahh... did he mention? ok maybe i missed out that point.

What if the file is 1px x 1px at 300dpi? ;p
test print at various resolutions and see which is the minimum acceptable to you... that's the only way you can judge what is acceptable to you... one thing is you have to balance not giving high res files with the final delivery quality for the clients...
wah pro, btw how to hv 1px X 1px at 300dpi? can show me some samples?
