HI

I am resizing an image on Adobe Fireworks taken on my mobile but want it on A6 size.

What would that be in pixels?

Thank You
 
105 x 148 @300dpi = 1240 x 1748

it would however depend on the maximum resolution of the screen. So if multiply the dimensions by the maximum dpi of the screen.

I'm not very good at all this but is A6 the standard size for photo frames?

ahh sorry i read it as you wanted it on your mobile

In that case, just find the dimensions of the photoframe and make a new page with a 300dpi resolution, copy the picture in and free transform accordingly. Most can display upto 12mp so you should be fine.

6x4 or 7x5 are likely the 'standard' size for photo frames.

They won't be measured in A series sizes.
 
A6 is 105mm x136mm So just resize your image to that size jobs a good one.

(4.13" x 5.35")

In pixels it depends on your resolution, at 150dpi, it's 150x4.13 = 620 pixels wide.

etc.

why 300dpi? dont most photo printers have a stupidly high dpi print quality?
i dont understand how to set up photo size to calibrate it with the printer...

300DPI is the standard to print digital photos at.

It's what print labs will use unless you specifiy otherwise to them.
 
ah right :)

knowing that now i have another question, why can the Canon IP5300 that i'm about to buy print at up to 9600x2400 dpi ?

that seems amazingly unnecesarry if pro shops do it at 300dpi, or are the specs decieving in terms of quality?
 
Apparently that means "Ink droplets can be placed with a minimum pitch of 1/9600 inch"

edit - As proof of print DPIs if you're interested...

For those that are technically minded, here is some information about our print devices and paper types. For small format work (up to 10"x15") we print on a number of FujiFilm Frontier 370 and 390 printers. These work by exposing red, green and blue laser light onto FujiFilm Crystal Archive photographic paper at 300 DPI (dots per inch). The fade resistance of the prints is rated at 150 years.

For large format work we use a Polielectronica Laserlab. This is a world-class laser-based photographic device which prints onto FujiFilm Professional digital photographic paper at 254 DPI. The fade resistance of the prints is also rated at 150 years.

edit 2 - if you think about that logically, printing at 9600DPI would mean you would manage a 1" long print from something like a 80MP camera :p

Yes, but the take a (simple) example of a 3 colour printer (C M Y) if you wanted to print at 300 dpi, the printer would need to be able to print at 900dpi to be able to put down a decent looking image with 3 colours. OK I knw not quite, but consider the opposite, if the printer could literally only print at exactly 300dpi no more then every ink drop would land on the same spot on the page and it wouldn't look right.
