Lo all,
I've just started a Graphic Design Degree and my lecturer was telling us about the industry standard for print specifications etc. He mentioned that the print spec is 300dpi and suggested that anything we scanned in should be 300dpi. He also said that most Digital Cameras shoot at 72dpi and that they would need converting in photoshop to 300dpi.
Now, my Digital Camera (Olympus C-5000) shoots .tif at 144dpi but it's still not high enough. I also find that if I use photoshop to convert it to 300dpi it makes the images look worse.
I'm hoping to get a D50 for my Birthday and I was woundering if anyone could tell me if I can get 300dpi from it. Does .RAW shoot at 300dpi?
If it doesn't shoot at 300 should I expect the image quality to be so much better than my C-5000 that changing the res in Photoshop won't be an issue?
Cheers all
