I’d like to put 300 photos onto a CD to share with friends.

What is the proper size (aaa x bbb) and resolution (dpi) to use??

Thanks

DPI is a term that is related to printing. PPI refers to the number of pixels per inch displayed on the monitor. The appropriate size depends on the intended purpose for sharing the photos. If your recipients are just going to be viewing them on their computer, then 72 PPI is adequate. As far as dimensions are concerned, I think I would probably keep them in about the 640×480 size if they are just going to be viewed on the computer. I would provide more like 240 PPI and the appropriate dimensions if the recipients were going to want to print the images. Sorry, this isn’t a lot of information. If you need more assistance, could you please provide more details?
