I'm using Paint.net until I can afford CorelDraw, and to have the transfers made they need to be sent in .jpg in 300 dpi or greater, and I'm not exactly sure what that is or how I can make sure it is good. I can use inkscape but I already know how to use paint.net and figured it would just be easier to use that at the start.

not familiar with that program but if i had to guess, i would check under file > document info (or something similar). OR check under image>resolution OR adjustments>resolution. Keyword being resolution.
Saving the file as a jpeg image just requires using file > save as, then choosing .jpg

Thanks I found it. Incase anyone else has this problem you have to go to Image > Resize and then set the resolution to 300 pix/in. Thanks again if you hadn't have told me resolution is what to look for I wouldn't have found it, I was looking for it to say dpi.

Just so you know if your ising a bitmap that is 72dpi and you change it to 300dpi all you are doing is making the file larger in size. The quality of the image will retain its 72 pixels per inch information.
You can resize / re sample down from 300 to 72 and retain all the pixel information yet you cannot up sample.
I'm unfamiliar with this program, but when you create a new document, you should be able to change the size from 72 to 300. It might also be an option when you create a canvas size or resize an image.

Someone is actually requesting jpegs? That's unusual. Jpegs are the source of endless headaches in this business. Anyway, I've only glanced at Paint.net but I imagine that it's similar to other applications. When you first create a new document, it should ask you to decide upon the resolution before opening the document. It has to unless it's so limited that it only works at a specific resolution. I can't imagine that though.
if you're doing web design you should know the basics of digital imaging at least for the internet. the larger the number dpi (dots per inch) the larger the file, the better the quality etc. what program are you using for web design? most programs have an image editor attached. fluid makes a huge point......don't take a 72 dpi image from the web and change it to 300 dpi file, it doesn't work that way. start high and work from there.
How do I make sure it is 300 dpi?
