Is there any possible way to set the ppi and lock it at that setting? I just took a never-ending amount of individual pictures for a dance company and I have been setting each picture individually at 300ppi to upload for printing. It is overwhelming and really doesn't help my wrist!! I use Corel PSPXI.

Thanks!:)

On the disk that came with you camera use the program Digital Photo Professional. In the top right hand corner is a button that says Batch Process there you can convert change the PPI and also convert from RAW to JPEG and TIFF

Victoria,

Its been my experience when uploading files to online printers that asked for a set ppi that as long as the outer dimentions of the images =300 pp x the number of inches IE 8x10=2400x3000, 5x7 =1500x2100 the ppi tag that was asigned to the file be it150, 180, 300 ext had no impacted.

I had this question as well. My buddy shoots with a Nikon D200 and uses Mac, I shoot Canon 5D and use PC. Every time we upload a new image, and open the image from his camera on his computer and we look at his PPI it says 300 ppi with no adjustments made at all, straight from the camera...

Every time I look at my PPI from an image taken with a full frame 12.8 megapixel camera on PC it says 72 ppi.

Why is this? Seems very odd...

It is because DPI is, for the most part, a meaningless number, but because it is part of the Exif standard they have to put some number there. It could be 1 or 1,000. What matters is PPI which expresses the relationship between pixels and print size, and therefore depends on whether the image is in its native size or has been changed by cropping or resampling and also depends on the size of the print paper.

I don't believe I ever mentioned DPI.

Here's what I'm talking about
