I have been testing my new digital camera and trying to understand resolution (trying being the operative word in that sentence).
I did three test shots of the same subject. One in RAW mode (3072X2048), one in LG (3072X2048) and Medium (2048X1360). Enlarging each in PS I can tell the difference between the LG and Med images although it is very slight. I did notice that all were at 180 resolution. As all this will be print work don't I need to change that to 300 dpi? I tried that to see what would happen and the images obviously got larger but on the monitor but I could not tell the difference just by looking at them.
My question - I'm still trying to do what gare told me yesterday (to have approx. 4BM per 5X7 image). That's easy at the size of these images. I also want to have 300dpi resolution for printing which makes a HUGE file, what do I do? I am totally lost at this point. Do I shoot in LG mode, increase the resolution to 300 once in the computer and then just reduce that to 5X7 for printing???
Please HELP. I'm dying here. [confused]
