I did a little help please

Antonio Correia

I bought the excellent american magazine B&W issue 50.

In the image contest for 2008 it is stated and I quote:

"Save images at 300 dpi (lower resolution files cannot be used), 8 bits, in grayscale, and as tiff or jpeg files"


My question is:
Am I doing right when I open the raw photo stating 300 dpi ?
I think that is right. :dunno
When I save the file in jpeg the window herewith pops up.
It is correct or shall I change anything ? :dunno


Thank you.

Antonio - your image of the jpg dialogue box looks fine -

You might find that saving jpgs at a quality level of 10 is indistinguishable from a level 12 as in your dialogue box and the files are significantly smaller. This dialogue box does not ask about pixels or dpi. That is determined by the Image Size command.

If you convert from RAW into Photoshop at 300dpi and do not change that in your editing, it should remain 300dpi in your saved jpg files.

I notice you are saving with a Progressive mode, I always use Standard. I am not sure one is better than the other, though.

My jpg dialogue box looks like this ( the pixel size of the image will vary depending on cropping and camera shot with of course)

Hello Pathfinder.
How do you do ?
Of course I was meaning "I need a little help" and not "I did a little help".:D

Thank you for your contribution.
It was not that small after all ...
Very good advice. Thank you.:D
Cheers
