I’m sure this is a simple question and if anyone can point me to a goo tutorial I would be grateful.

Just went digital with the Canon 20D and I need to make a 16×20 print A photo taken in RAW converted to .TIF with the Digital Phot Professional software that came with the camera (is this a newe version of ZoomBrowser?) when opened with Elements 2 gives me document size of 10.011 X 6.674. There is an option to resize when convert from RAW with Photo Professional, I can also change the DP when converting and the default is set at 350 DPI….should I use tha or should I do any upsizing with Elements? If i should just us Elements can someone walk me through how I would resize to get the bes quality 16X20 print

You need to know how it is going to be printed.

I generally only print my own stuff for quick prints. I usually let the pros do the more serious stuff (I have not been a pro photographer for many years so none of my stuff is really serious these days). My experience is that I don’t worry about it. I give them the file, after I have cropped it, if needed, and done any basic adjustments I feel should be made. I let them do their own thing with the results and I have been happy with the results.

In any case what printer are you using?

Someone else may tell you otherwise, but until I feel the need for something beyond what I do now, I will not worry.

BTW I also have a 20D and I have been quite happy with the 16X20’s I have had made.
