Photo "rendered less than 220 dpi"

Get this a lot when trying to print photos from Elements 11 with my Pixma Pro 9000II printer. How do I correct this problem? What's causing it?

Thanks.

I don't have the printer, but:

1) What size (in inches) are you trying to print?

2) What are the final pixel dimensions (after cropping) of the image before sending it to the printer?

It is just warning you that the print is not optimal. If you print the photo anyway and it looks fine to you, don't worry about the message.

If it doesn't, there are ways to render the photo so the dpi is higher, but as far as I know Elements by itself will not do it. You will need another program in all likelihood.

I did a search. It looks like you change the resolution in Elements similar to how you can do it in CS.

Never have tried it, but this may help. http://akvis.com …s/print-size-elements.php

Your printer demands to be fed 300 ppi images - actually the number of pixels needed to make a print the size you are requesting with 300 pixels for each inch of paper. It is just a matter of determining who will do the resizing. If you do nothing but send through whatever you have, your OS, Mac or Windows, will do it. The other option is for you to do the resampling in PSE. Elements is giving you the information to make an informed decision. If you have already more than 200 ppi for that print size, it probably doesn't matter where the resampling is done. Between 150 - 200 ppi I would do it in PSE in order to see, control and sharpen the image before committing to the print. Starting at less than 150 ppi, I would definitely want to see it before deciding if it is worthwhile continuing.

Thanks, everyone.
