Re the queries yesterday with the problems altering the ppi or dpi as such,another couple of queries.
1).when checking some shots taken yesterday and going to the image re size box,the shots taken with the 4500+ scope showed up at 300 pixels.Even when changed to 800 for Gallery purposes,the pixels in the very bottom box were 300.Which means that if they are to be sent to the Gallery must be changed to 200 or less.Images taken with the 300d show up in the bottom pixel box at 180 or thereabouts.This is after both sets of images have been cropped and tweaked.So why is it,that the Canon with the larger no of pixels in its system sends smaller pixels to the pc.Both cameras are set to large files to be read to the card,and the Nikon has "fine" showing on the screen.
2) This brings me to a second query.I would like to frame a couple of images,which have been downsized to 800.(no,I do not have the originals before anyone asks!!).The images I would like to be A3 or the next larger,not sure which is the next size up.Will these images enhance okay,at A4 they are good.Do I need to leave all pics at the higher size to be enhanced for framing,inc any digiscoped ones wqhich are coming through at 300 pixel.By dropping the pixels to 200 (for Gallery purposes) does this mean I am lowering the quality.
The main reason for asking advice re the latter,is because I am going to have to find an online service to print higher than A4,and because I am not sure what is what,I do not want to waste money by paying for pics to be printed,then they all come back as rubbish,or not as clear as my own A4 ones.
Thanks,Christine.
thankyou for everyone who advised yesterday,having spent the morning sifting through cd,s I found one which should have contained the original,but it was moved to another file after it was re sized etc.Will not make that mistake again.
