Let me start by saying that I have been thrilled with the images that I have seen come off of my Epson 2400, rendered in Photoshop. I attend a weekly photography class at a local museum school where images that I have brought in are often viewed with ewhs and ahhs and I even have one hanging in a museum selected in a state wide juried competition. So I feel safe to say that I must be doing something right or there is an awful lot of dumb luck at play.
Yet in our strive for excellence, there are always questions. We seek out answers on forums such as this one and often the answers beget more questions. So it is in this vein that I post this question.
Recently, I started this post on the Lightroom forum:
<http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc47bb2> In answering the post, it was suggested "As long as the PPI of the image size is between 180-480 PPI you really have no reason for up or down sampling…" and "resize without resampling checked to change the ratio and density."
If I understood this answer (and I grant you that I may not have understood this answer) if I have an image that comes into Photoshop at 240 ppi and if I want to make an 8×12 print, in the image resize dialog box, plug in 8 and 12 for the height and width, uncheck resample and then the resulting ppi is 296.
But then I’ve also seen refernce to how on Epson printers, they like to be fed images with a ppi number like 180, 240, 360, 480. If I want an 8×12 print, the only way to get one of those ppi numbers is by resampling.
So, how does this get resolved? I have a feeling that I am missing something here, so can someone explain?
