Hello all, I'm new to this form and have a question. I'm trying to save a TIFF file (300 dpi) to to a JPG (72 DPI) without totally trashing the image. Everytime I use SAVE AS, or SAVE FOR WEB it either scales the image bigger or resolution is so poor it not worth printing. Anyone know how this can be done? -Ashley3D

One thing to try would be to open the TIF file, go to "Image -> Image Size..." and alter the resolution (whilst keeping the pizel dimensions the same, might need to reset these after changing the dpi setting) and then saving as JPG. The problem might be the image resolution embedded within the file?

I'm a bit curious why you would want to convert from 300 dpi TIFF file to 72 dpi JPG file for printing. You would need to do this for web but not printing.

I'm with Dreamer on this, no need to drop the res for printing. in fact the higher res TIFF has more file information for printing than any JPG would have.

Keep a copy for printing and another for web.

The reason I'm converting the file to 72 or 100 DPI JPG's is for file transfer speed. I'm not looking for full 300 DPI rez, just something that will give the customer quality and accurate image size. Is there an easyer way that I'm missing? --Ashley3D

If you are only sending the file to be viewed onsceen, there's no need to worry about the DPI. DPI is only used when converting pixel size to physical print size. If you want the picture to be viewable onsceen, then just reduce the pixel size to fit. DPI isn't used by onsceen image viewing programs unless maybe in print preview.
