Dpi help, I'm stupid when it comes to this

Okay, mods feel free to move this.. I wasn't sure where the best place for this topic was.

I use Paint Shop Pro 7, and I recently submitted a graphic design to a company. They emailed me back saying that the graphic has to be at the most 300 dpi (dots per inch). What does that mean, and how do I lower my dpi? Is there an option like that in PSP7 or in another graphic design program?

Thanks! biggrin.gif

are you sure it wasnt ppi (pixels per inch)?

for ppi, make a new document.

Moved to Web design

Do you have Photoshop? I think you can choose your dpi when creating a new document.

^ For photoshop:



where it says resolution put in 300 pixels per inch.

voila!

But since you said PSP7, i'd read Michelle's [insomniacs] post

Resolution = pixels per inch

pixels = aka dot

I asked my photoshop teacher.
