Q. digital specifications

Asked by sevina yates (K=37) on 9/17/2006

Hello I am an artist entering an American art competition. I live in England and do not understand the digital specifications required to download my digital photograph to disk for them. I have a canon dslr and have taken the image ,stored it on pc in jpeg format. What they want me to do is:range of 72-150 dpi, max size of 3/12" high x 5" wide, jRGB. How do I change what I have got to what they want? I usually resize using pixel size on adobe photoshop elements and download to disk for safekeeping. and what does 3/12"mean? Please can anybody help?

;) ;) Thanks, sev.

that's got nothing at all to do with image size and everything with print size and print resolution.
Set the "document size" in Photoshop. 3/12 is probably a typo and should be 3 1/2 ;)

Work through the tutorials at www.scantips.com and it will help you understand the relationship between image dpi and size as well as capture dpi and output/printing dpi. This can be confusing.

They need an image that's pizel size is between 252 px by 360 px and 525 px by 750 px

(3.5" x 5" @ 72dpi to 3.5" x 5" @150dpi)

Have a look at the article section for a more in depth explanation of input and output explanation.
