thanks jphess for the information, I opened two images one taken by nikon and other by fuji the nikon height and width was 8.64X6.48 inches in photoshop and that of fuji was 31 x 23. now i am somewhat clear why the dpi isnt that important as both comes to almost same numbers if resized. jphess can you kindly tell me how to resize the image in photoshop as i want to take a print out of both and convince my dad that Fuji is good as he was telling no to fuji after he saw 72dpi compared to nikons 300dpi thanks ![]() |

Apparently you are still not understanding the concept. In reality, there is no difference in the resolution of the two pictures, the one from the Nikon and the other from the Fuji. The only difference is how the two camera companies have decided to report the size. You must read my previous message again, and again, and again, and think about what has been said.
I don't know what version of Photoshop you have. There are several ways to do what you want to do. Here is ONE easy way: Open the Fuji image in Photoshop. Go to Image/Image Size. Change the pixels per inch from 72 to 300. Make sure you have removed the check mark from Resample. Click OK. Your image will now be smaller in dimensions, but will have a resolution of 300 PPI. Print the image. There are a number of other things that can be done, but that is the simplest set of instructions I can provide. I don't know how much Photoshop experience you have. When you set up your printing options, you might want to make sure you have selected "Scale to fit" and that will make the photograph fit the paper you have chosen. But again, the Nikon image is not a 300 PPI image. The Nikon has simply chosen to provide you with the dimensions that the photograph would be IF there were 300 pixels in each square inch, where Fuji has chosen to provide you with dimensions IF there were 72 pixels in each square inch. That is the only difference. If you look at the pixel size of each image in the Photoshop resize dialogue, I think you will discover that they will be very close to the same size. The other thing you could do is simply take the two images to a local photo processor (I use Sam's Club) and have the two images printed. That way you wouldn't have to worry about doing a thing to them. Just let the photo processor and do all the work. All you have to do is compare the two prints. |

It's very difficult to know where to start on a subject like "Photoshop tips". And I don't think this forum is the appropriate place to do that. There seems to be a lot of different opinions on how resizing should be done. If you go to the Photoshop user forms and ask a question about resizing you will get countless approaches. Just take the two images to a photo processor and have them printed and compare them. That is the simplest way I know of to get the answer to your question.
