I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this sooo... yeah...
Well I'm supposed to make a yearbook cover that is 300 dpi, and I know that dpi stands for dots per inch, but does the size of the document matter? Can you determine the document size by knowing the dpi? I read some stuff about but I'm still confused  hahaHere are the things I skimmed a bit: http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/archives/200...eally-mean.html |

size doesnt matter. it just needs to be 300 dpi for printing. You should get measurements too though. In photoshop cs4 there is a preset option called U.S. Paper. It has the measurements 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper, which I am guessing is the size that you need to use. And the only thing that makes it 300 dpi is the 300 pixels per inch. Is that what you wanted to know?
edit: ok ok, I re read. if you are using photoshop then the size you enter is the size that, stays and ditto for the pixels per inch. So just make sure that it is set to 300 pixels per inch. |
