How to convert to 300 DPI and 8.5'; x 11';+ ?!?

';They need to be 300 dpi and 8.5 x 11 inches or greater.';



I'm being asked to change these photos to 300 DPI and 8.5'; x 11';+.



Can I even do that with these photos?! I have NO idea how! Is it possible for anyone on here who is more experienced to do it for me? They need to be high resolution. I do not have the originals..



Help help help! I have Photoshop CS2 if it'll help with converting..

The first photo I checked is slightly larger than a 9'; x 12'; with a resolution of 72 ppi (pixels per inch).



To res this up to 300 ppi with expecting it to any type of quality is an impossible task. You will end up with pixelated artifacts in your photograph that will not be pleasing to the eye. Sorry to have to be the one to break the news to you.



These photos need to be taken again with a camera that can give you a higher resolution, or scanned at a higher resolution.



Here are some tutorials regarding enlarging photos, although they will not help you to this extent.

The only way you can do this is to find your original file and see what size it is. There is no way to convert these images to any thing larger than about 10%. and in any case they were saved at 72DPI for use for posting on websites or attaching to email



When shooting with digital cameras, is it recommended that all image files be shot at the highest resolution and size the camera will support. If that is not done and the photographer comes up with an award winning image, there is no way to later make the file larger.



This is why I shoot all my images as RAW + JPEG basic. The basic JPEG is good enough for editing (sorting) my images and then when I determine which of them will be submitted to the client, I can make a good high resolution JPEG (3.5MB or larger) or TIFF (around 35MB) for their use.
well the first thing I would like to ask is what type of camera did you use these on? what are the mega pixels _ you have to know that before you can re-size them- because a lot of times what tends to happen is that if you bought/used a camera with let's Say mega pixels the picture could come out very pix-elated when trying to blow them up- but if you have like a 8 mega pixel camera the quality of the picture will come out better. A lot of time the camera's resolution is be in the info that you bought th camera with.



Now if you want to try this and see how your pictures come out you can: open photoshop/ file-open-(choose the photo file)/ go to image-image size (dialog box will open)- in the dialog box go down to res. (type in 300-if not already), then go back up two tabs ( where the measurements will be measured in inches not percents (type in 8.5 in the first box (if landscape make this box 11) and then go down to the second box and type in the other dimension.



Now the image will be blown up so do pay attention to that- try printing the image out and see what it looks like that way!!



or- if your camera is already a high resolution camera- just go in the image printing wizard a dialog box should come up and you just choose the size photo you want to print it as.





Good Luck!!!!!
