I hired a graphic designer to help me do some work, she finished half way and now gone MIA. She gave me the work in 200ppi and I told her I needed it in 350dpi. I don't think she is gone forever, I just haven't been able to reach her for the last 2 weeks and I need the completed designs today. And I have only 5 of the 12.

Anyways, I need to just use what I have. But how can I save her 200ppi work to 350dpi?

Thanks everyone!

A Perfect Pixel

if its a raster image (assuming)

open it in PhotoShop, choose EDIT > IMAGE SIZE

change where it says 200 to 350

you WILL lose some resolution by doing this

ppi and dpi are sorta kinda the same thing

ppi = pixels per inch
dpi = dots per inch

you need to change the number in the LAST box (the dpi or ppi box)

i think you're changing the wrong one

No, you are cool , just enter the correct dpi and photoshop adjusts the pixels accordingly. I am not sure about ppi and dpi being the same thing though.

This is in photoshop help....One PostScript point is equal to 1/72 of an inch in a 72‑ppi image.

No dpi is where Brian said it was....at the bottom....called resolution when you do as he said....dpi is pixel/inch.

yup, and the more I mess with it the lower the pixel gets.

The only way for me to increase the dpi is to get a TINY image, right? which won't work.

No messing with the dpi will not affect your 'physical size'

If it is 11 inches to start with, it will stay 11 inches regardless of what you make the dpi.

You are just telling the program how many pixels are in an inch. Sorry for the multiple post, I keep forgetting to add something.
