I'm trying to render out images to be printed.
The print resolution in the output tools popup is set to 300 by default, which is what I want it to be. However once the image has been completed and I check its dpi it's 96. No matter what I set the print resolution to it always comes out as 96.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Andreas ,
I will try and explain it better ,
instead of adding pixels to the same resolution (i.e changing from 96 pixels per inch (dpi) to 300 pixels per inch (dpi) , visualize makes the resolution large.
so if you wanted to print say an 8.5" x 11" print out at 300 dpi. when you do the render in visualize you would :
make sure your camera aspect ratio is correct (11:8.5)
under the render tab set 300 Pixels/in and set your print size to 11 x 8.5
this will give you a resolution of 3300 x 2550 which will render out in 96 dpi but when scaled down for printing will result in a pixel density of 300 ppi (dpi)
when you look at the actual pixel density in windows or photoshop it will say that is 96 but if it were truly only 96 ppi then the resolution would be 1056 x 816.
hope this helps
