It was brough up to me a couple days ago that some files someone had received from a Canon shooter were 72dpi straight from the camera. I thought that was odd and I just checked my own files and sure enough, they are at 72dpi. Now, I am was at the highest resolution jpg. Is 72dpi simply the standard? If so, how do I set the camera to 300 dpi? These are images I took for another photographer at a wedding and he wasn't pleased with the other person's 72dpi images, I'm dont know what I'm going to tell him now. He shoots Nikon, does that make a difference?

| The only place the DPI makes any difference is printing. The pixel dimensions are still what they should be. If you are worried that he will be displeased with the DPI set to 72, open each one, right-click the title bar to get the image size dialog, uncheck resample and change the DPI to 300. Notice how the dimensions in inches (or cm) change, but the pixel dimensions do not. |

The dpi is just for the resolution when printed. It will mean that if you change it to 300dpi in camera or in photoshop, that the printed size will be smaller. It doesn't affect the number of pixels or anything unless you choose to resample as well.

OK, I know that but already has the files. I'd think he'd understand about DPI, maybe he doesn't, but since I am being "trained" by him I really don't want to sound snotty!
