Re: Need some assistance on DPI
Hi Giddyup, you appear somewhat confused re this resolution mater and I'm with you, it is confusing and is getting more so as each month passes by.
Going back a few years Apples used 72dpi & Windows used 96dpi, so an apple generated image appeared slightly smaller on a PC screen.
I've done a great deal of work with individual graphics in very high res at 96 DPI.
96dpi is not hires, just a fine size for display on a PC. 72dpi is not hires either just a fine size to view on Apples.
If you copy an image from either PC or Apple and try to print them the quality will be poor. Printers require 200 to 600 dpi to print a quality image.
It is my understanding that if I reduce the DPI to 72 that if some one copies the file and brings it up in a program it will be a great deal smaller than my inserted graphic, and if it is enlarged it will fall apart.
That is just not true. Nothing will fal apart just be of poor printer quality as mentioned above.
Things have become far more complicated these days with tablets, mobiles, laptops and desktops having higher and higher pixel density capabilities. One reason Xara introduced the HiRes option for including 192dpi images for better quality images on Ipads/iPhones/some Android phones & tablets.
You're also moving to HD & 4K displays.
