Dpi?

[Gibson]

Hey guys, I'm entering a contest type thingy and it says my pictures have to have around 300 DPI, but I don't have photoshop or anything so I can't tell what the DPI is. I have my pictures on the least compressive JPG setting, but i did have to do some size editing so it isn't the original that I'm submitting. Can anyone give me a program or something that will tell me?

Thanks

Does it give you a dimension along with the DPI? Just the DPI doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, DPI means how many dots per inch, but you need to know how many inches you're working with.

The recommended dimensions are 675 X 563, but you can enlarge or shrink it. As an example, one of my pictures are at 1618 X 1496.

[KKY]

just use 675 X 563 as your guideline then. The DPI is irrelevant unless they gave you dimensions in inches or cm.

Note: if you really want to see what dpi your images are set at, you can look at the file properties, under summary > advanced.

Perfect, they're at 300 DPI exactly. Thanks a lot.
