Photo printing advice needed....

I'll pm you my email.

When you get up this way, definitely look me up. I am always trying to host photo runs. I want to do a Maine Lighthouse run, and some Coastal Maine runs. I love it at Acadia, that is actually where that image I posted above is from. ;-)

Oh man...sweet sweet image. If there is a lighthouse run...um....ya, i'm there. I'll be living in Portsmouth (I think)...so I can shoot up into ME no sweat.

If you shot and edited in 72 ppi and resize to 240 or 300, you are going to add pixels and make your photo ugly.

Until a print is made PPI is meaningless. However, if an image is resized larger or smaller using one of the several interpolation algorithms used by image editing software, image quality may be decreased.

The camera shoots at whatever pixel dimensions (resolution) it is set to. If that is Raw or JPEG Large, it will be the full resolution of the cameras image sensor.

AFAIK, only Canon cameras assign the utterly absurd value of 72 ppi to images at capture.
