Hi,
Although not new to photography and I am new to digital and elements 1 & 2. I hope someone can steer me in the correct direction with my query.
The images from my 5 meg camera come out as .jpgs (which I copy and archive). I then batch command the images to tiffs for image manipulation. (After manipulation I save the tiffs to archive along with the original jpgs). I then convert the tiffs back to jpgs for lower size file storing on my HD for slide shows, internet, e-mail, etc.
My THREE questions relate to when I batch command the tiffs back to jpgs.
There are two ways I can convert.
1. A straight conversion without ticking file conversion.
2. Use file conversion method.
Which is the best method of the above two????
If I use the convert file method, I tick convert file and leave the width & height boxes empty, selecting one of the above DPI numbers, however, I cannot really see any difference between 600 DPI and 150 DPI. Although the 600 DPI must have a higher resolution!
What DPI do most folks recommend here?????
Lastly, when I batch convert the images they always are quite low in size no matter what the initial file size was. It seems that elements 1 automatically optimises the best File size when batching. Is this correct??
I do not print images only view on monitor.
Thanks .Iain
