There has been a lot said (typed) on explaining PPI (DPI), print sizes, image deminsions, etc.
But, is there a quick and very easy to understand (good use of examples) PPI for Dummies (like me) that just have a tough time in this area.
I know to some, it may not be difficult, but to others (me for example), I still get confused on what a picture print will look like when I have multiple inputs (ie., from cameras with small and larger sizes (nnnn x nnnn and different resolutions etc), from the web with small sizes, etc.
I need to be able to say (for example):
"Ok, I have these (for example) 3 pictures. One is 72dpi, one is 180 dpi one is nnnn x nnnn in the size etc. Now, how do I incorporate these pictures in to a montage and print at say 8 1/2 x 11. Or, is it going to look bad and I need to print smaller (and at what dpi)."
I know this sounds so general of a question, but I bet the pros size up the various inputs they get, and determine the maximum sizes they can produce effectivily (and with highest possible quality) with PS (I have CS3)base on thoses inputs.
If this is too dumb of a question, I am sorry, but this one has always thrown me for a loop.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
