kannie Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi anyone know anything about digital photography? I need to have some photos of 300dpi, which I would have thought would be no problem with my camera which is supposed to be 6.0 megapixels. However all the photos seem to come out at 72dpi. I have the camera on the 6m setting, and the photo quality on 'fine' rather than 'standard'. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hubby used to work in a camera shop- he says you can alter the software ... as you load the images up you can see the true file size. It's how the photos are compressed on your memory card. Hope that makes sense... i'm lost already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hmmm. Thanks Jules. I've checked my software - the package that came with the (sony) camera, and I can't see anywhere to alter the software to uncompress the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks Dan. I've tried this now, but the picture still seems to have 72dpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Sorry not to reply earlier - been on holiday! It's 512mb Dan - so I don't think thats the problem. The images aren't small files, they're mosty 1500-2500kb. Going on a course tomorrow, so maybe the tutor will be able to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
