I have my digital SLR set to "high" and "large" for photographs. When I import them into Photoshop, the horizontals are 300, yet the verticals are only 72. Pixel counts appear to be similar. Why is this, and can I change the dpi on the verticals to 300 for publication use? Am running Mac 10.4.7.

Hi Laura.

As long as the pixel counts are the same you should be fine. Go to Image / Image Size to reset the resolution for printing. Make sure the "resample image" checkbox is NOT checked.

do you mean there is a non-square pixel aspect ratio?

the horizontals are 300,

300 what?

yet the verticals are only 72.

72 what?

Pixel counts appear to be similar.

similar to what?

Without the units of measurement those are just numbers

John,

I believe he meant that tehe Landscape oriented pix are 300 dpi but the Portrait oriented ones are 72. And both have similar pixel counts. Sounds to me like a camera problem.
