Hi,
I'm a little confused when it comes to image size, resolution and best quality for prints...
My 20 d has an aspect ratio of 3:2. When I save the image, I set them up to 300 ppi. That creates an image that's 11.68 in * 7.787 in...
If I wanted to get an exact duplicate of that I'd imagine I would have to get it printed at that size... Now what happens to the quality if i get it printed at 9" * 6" (same aspect ratio)... It seems to me that if the printer is at 300 ppi, the original image has too many pixels.... so do the extra pixels get dropped ?
In order to achieve optimum quality in the prints, would you just crop the picture and then print them ?
Just a tad bit confused,
TIA,
P. |

No expert here, however printing at 300 resolution is optimum for my software. The crop to maintain the same aspect ration should not affect the quality at all, in fact I believe that an aspect ratio crop of equating to the original frame size will completely fill the original frame, just reduce the print size. (at least that is how I see it occurr in PS elements 2).
