Yes. Use the Image Size command and turn "Resample Image" OFF.
"Resample" means "change the number of pixels." If resampling is turned
the pixel dimensions will be identical–a 1200×1600 pixel image will stillbe
1200×1600 pixels. The resolution will change, and the size of the picturewhen
it is printed out will change.

If i want the pixel dimensions and the document size to be remained but only the dpi change to 300dpi, can i do it this way:
1) turn of the resample and change the dpi to 300, then
2) turn on the resample and set the document size back to its original. Does that cause any lose in pix quality?

The most reliable way to interpolate an image up to a higher resolution is by using proprietory software like Genuine Fractals. Another method which works well is to use ‘stair interpolation’. Basically this uses bicubic resizing in Photoshop in 10% increments until the size is reached. Either way, expect some degradation of the image. How much depends on how good the original is.

I am not clear on what you are asking. However, resampling an image ALWAYS degrades its quality. Always. You can not invent image detail that does not exist in the original; it is impossible to resample an image to increase its resolution and have the result be as good as if you had simply made the image at the proper size and resolution to begin with.

The ONLY thing that matters in measuring the resolution of a digital image is the pixel dimensions; PPI (inaccurately referred to in this thread as DPI) is merely an abstract based on the pixel dimensions applied to a particular output size, and does not have any direct correlation to the resolution of a given image. A 1500px X 1500px image contains the exact same number of pixels (and therefore the same resolution) whether it’s being printed at 300ppi or 72ppi.
Negatives are routinely "resampled" to considerably larger size when a fine print is made. There is definitely a loss of total information in this process but at the same time there is a gain in useful information, since image detail is revealed to the naked eye which was invisible beforehand.

As you will learn, the software cannot invent detail. However, remind your client of the concept of viewing distance. If the image is large, then persons looking at it from a distance will, at least, see it as if it were just a smaller print closer up. (for the most part). If they move closer, they should simply not expect to see more detail.

So tell me then. When is a photograph not a photograph?
For a photograph to exist at all it has to occupy space, be a physical object. If it is not, it cannot be a photograph but merely a digital file.
To print a 1200 x1600, 72 dpi image at the 22"x16" (approx) those dimensions occupy as a photograph in any quality at all, it must be interpolated up to 300 dpi or thereabouts or printed at a size considerably smaller than those dimensions describe.
What you lot are attempting to make out is that this image of 1200×1600 at 72 dpi has in fact no dimension which is wrong because the use of a dpi qualifier after the pixel size of the image, creates a set of dimensions as a precursor to becoming a photograph.
If the OP had said a 22"x16" image at 72 dpi instead of quoting the pixel count and specifying a dpi, those feeble minds unable to grasp the concept that a photograph is a measurable object might open their minds to reality and start to comprehend that a photograph cannot exist until it is produced. A digital file is only a means of producing the photograph, it is not the photograph itself.
Simply put: You should not have clients before you know what you are doing.
To print a 1200 x1600, 72 dpi image at the 22"x16" (approx) those dimensions occupy as a photograph in any quality at all, it must be interpolated up to 300 dpi or thereabouts or printed at a size considerably smaller than those dimensions describe.

Yes, you can; the resulting print is 5.33 by 4 inches in dimension.

A digital image does have a resolution. This resolution, measured in pixels
per
inch, is stored as part of the file, usually in the file’s header. The resolution makes no difference until the image is printed; nevertheless, it is still a property of the file, and Photoshop will show it as such.
A raster-based image is described by four properties: its pixel resolution, which is the number of pixels it contains; its physical size on output; its resolution in pixels per inch; and the number of bits per pixel. The first three are all related.
Each pixel is a square of color. Each pixel is assigned a physical size; this size is not relevant to display of an image on screen, but is relevant to outpit. A 300 pixel per inch image is made of squares called "pixels," each one of which is 1/300th of an inch wide. A 72 pixel per inch image is made of squares called "pixels," each one of which is 1/72 of an inch wide.
Let us suppose you have a file 1,000 pixels wide.
If your file is 100 pixels per inch, then your file will print 10 inches wide. If your file is 200 pixels per inch, then your file will print 5 inches wide. If your file is 1,000 pixels per inch, then it will print 1 inch wide.
In all three cases, your file is exactly the same on a computer screen; the only thing different is how big the pixels are in print.
Think about a tile mosaic for a second–because that is exactly what your picture is. It’s a tile mosaic. Every tile is a pixel.
You’re an artist, and you make a tile mosaic that is 100 tiles wide and 100 tiles deep. If each tile you used is one foot wide, your mosaic is 100 feet wide and 100 feet tall. If each tile you used is one inch wide, your mosaic is 100 inches wide and 100 inches tall. If each tile is 1/2" wide, your mosaic is 50 inches wide and 50 inches tall.
The "resolution" of a picture is very simple: It is nothing but how big each pixel is!
So what is "resampling"?This isn’t resampling. This is changing the desired print resolution.
Let’s say you have a tile mosaic and you made it out of tiles one inch wide. Your mosaic is 100 inches wide and 100 inches tall.
Let’s say you re-create your mosaic with tiles 1/2" wide.
You have two choices:
You can re-create your tile mosaic with the same number of tiles. Now your mosaic is smaller, because the tiles are smaller. Your new mosaic is 50 inches wide and 50 inches tall.
Or, you can re-create your mosaic at the same physical size–100 by 100 inches. Now you have to use more tiles–four times as many tiles, in fact. Your new mosaic is 200 tiles wide and 200 tiles high. This is "resampling." Changing the number of tiles–that is, changing the number of pixels.
If you resample, your image will print at the same size. But because you have to create new pixels out of thin air, the quality of the picture goes in the toilet. There is no way to invent new pixels out of nothing; the computer must "guess" what color to make those pixels, and you will never see detail that was not in the original picture to start with.
If you do not resample, the image will print at a different size.
But that’s all there is to it. To figure out how big a digital image will print, you take the total number of pixels, and you divide that number by the size of each pixel, and that will tell you how big the print will be. If your image is 1,000 pixels wide, and each pixel is one inch wide, your image is at one pixel per inch and will be 1,000 inches wide when you print it.

Let’s make this simple. A printer that does, say, 360ppi will make a small print of a 1200x1600ppi image. To make a larger print and keep the same detail, a digital image containing a larger number of pixels is neccessary. Agreed?
The argument is that a person wanting detail in a print will need more pixels in the very first generation of the image. If he does not have those pixels, then interpolation is neccessary.
Underneath all this is the fact that more pixels (created in a manner other than interpolation) in that first generation image is better than interpolation after the fact.
Are we okay now?

Those dimensions you’re supplying don’t describe *anything*, that’s the part you fail to see – there is NO SUCH THING as a 1200 x 1600 72ppi image. There is ONLY a 1200 x 1600 image; the pixels per inch measurement ONLY comes into play when you actually print the image, and is variable depending on the dimensions at which the image is printed.What you lot are attempting to make out is that this image of 1200×1600
as72 dpi has in fact no dimension which is wrong because the use of a dpi qualifier after the pixel size of the image, creates a set of dimensions

Nope, it’s absolutely correct. A digital image has only its pixel dimensions to measure its resolution; again, pixels per inch is an abstract derived from dividing the pixel dimensions by the output size. This number is in no way inherent to the image at all.
A 1200 x 1600 image printed at 72ppi, and the same image printed at 300ppi, have EXACTLY THE SAME RESOLUTION, specifically 1200 X 1600. As I posted previously, printing this image at 72ppi will result in a print size of 16.667" x 22.223"; printing the same image at 300ppi will result in a print size of 4" x 5.334".
To look at it another way, printing an image at 16.667" x 22.223" at 300ppi would require an image resolution of 5000px X 6666.9px, which is CLEARLY A DIFFERENT IMAGE RESOLUTION than 1200 x 1600. It’s simple math.
You didn’t understand a single word of which I and the others wrote, but yet you continue to post as if you somehow have this knowledge that tens of thousands of qualified professionals somehow lack. Disturbing, that…
You are quite wrong Brian…
To describe an image in both pixels and dpi is to define a pre-dimensioned print size of a photograph or other physical printed page. To define an image in pixels alone is to describe only a digital file.

Adobe has for as long as I can recall, specified 2 measurements in their image file descriptions. I suggest that as Adobe invented Postscript which is now the standard page description language of the printing industry, their use of describing an image in both pixels and dots per inch is also a valid method of measuring a "ready for print" image and providing in that description, a means of readily assessing the quality of the printed page.
Wherever people get the idea that pixels are all that count is quite irrelevant to what the printing industry and photographic industry use in their descriptions or for that matter, need in order to print a page. What is relevant is that some people (you included) have such an unshakable belief that the world is flat as to continue on with an argument which has no merit.

The relevant property for a digital image is the amount of information in the image. This is specified by two dimensions of pixel count and one dimension of bit depth. As long as you stay in the digital universe there is no further property that can add information about the amount of detail available in the image.
Print resolution or sizes that compare the image to objects outside the digital universe are only valid in this real world. During the image’s stay in digital space they are like the information on a can of paint that says it will last for five square meters – they make assumptions how someone will use it and specify a sample outcome of its application. But saying "I have a 1000x2000pixel/72dpi image" is like saying "I have a 800 millilitres 5 square meter can of paint!"

I think you want to keep the picture the same size,
whatever that is, and make in higher resolution.
It any case decide how big you want the picture,
enter that number in the crop tool along with dpi
that you desire and select the area that is best.
Be sure to have bicubic interpolation set in the

I hope someone got something valuable somewhere in this circle of confusion.
An industry where you give someone an image of 6000x4000pixels that has a stored dpi of 72 to be printed 20 inches wide and get the image rejected because "the resoluton is too low, we need it in 300dpi" should very quickly re-learn their job.
Michael
Your argument is flawed in that "widespread" industry usage invariably leads to industry adoption of that description. You only need to look at the current description of ‘fonts’ and their traditional description to see that.
Eventually the widespread use of including dpi in the measurement of an image’s size and quality will become the norm and traditionalists will forever morn the passing of yet another dead pixel.

Daunting, yes. But written by someone who is clearly not as knowledgable as he thinks himsef. Just look at this quote: "today’s best cameras record digital files at a little more than 11 megapixels. But what if, in the near future, the standard moves up to 20 megapixels or higher? If you have backup on film, you can scan your images at a higher resolution."
That is nonsense. Yes, you can easily scan 20 Mpixel or more out of that piece of film.

The difference between 11MP and 14MP is absolutely ZERO, and possibly
MINUS. Why? because pixels don’t indicate quality in regards to how those pixels combined contribute to overall tone and color rendition, nor resolution.
If you live by the manufacturers’ metrics, you are already blinded.

Consumer and prosumer digital cameras tend to have a lower dynamic range than film. That means that while the film can still capture detail in the highlights and shadows, the digital image just shows white in the highlights and/or black in the shadows. (It’s the shadow end that’s typically most problematic for digital cameras.)

No, there were talking about their out of this world quality, see here: "But an 11-megapixel capture is not nearly large enough for the sharp, high-resolution full-page reproductions we strive for on the printed pages of Arizona Highways magazine at 300 dots per inch"

On Thu, 27 May 2004 06:53:11 +1000, "Not for Publication" found these unused words floating about:
The problem with narrow minded people is they think the world revolves around their ideas.This would be a self-description?The day you can define a pixel as an element of linearGot plenty of ink/toner and paper?
measurement, will be the day I start printing them.
A pixel can easily be defined as having a linear measurement when referenced by dpi. THAT’s the whole point of having the dpi MARKER in the file. That it can be altered, that’s a function of modern technology.
pixel = 1/dpi in inches
Until then, the only process of measuring an image for printing is in dots or lines. To print a 1200×1600 72 dpi image at 300 dpi requires the image to be interpolated up to that size.
Eventually the widespread use of including dpi in the measurement of an image’s size and quality will become the norm and traditionalists will forever morn the passing of yet another dead pixel.
True story: When i was working professional prepress at a trade shop called Dimension, we had a job order come in one day where the client had asked for a transparency to be scanned such that the scan would be 9 by 12 inches at 300 dpi.
Now, for the past thirty years, Dimension’s clients had been art directors and serious advertising professionals at big-name advertising agencies, so they never made that particular mistake. Lately, as more and more companies attempt (usually with dismal results) tosave money by bringing their advertising in-house, the experience and skill of Dimension’s client has dropped significantly.
Anyway, the job bag was passed to the scanner operator. This particular scanner operator, with 28 years’ experience running a drum scanner, was completely flummoxed; he had no idea what to do. He came to me and said "How can I make a scan at 300 dpi? That doesn’t make any sense! Do they want a prescreened halftone at 300 lines per inch? What the hell are they talking about?"
I laughed and explained, "Don’t sweat it, just make a 300 pixel per inch scan. The job’s for an ignoramous amateur who thinks "dpi" and "ppi" mean the same thing."
Sadly, five years later, the ignoramous amateurs seem to outnumber the skilled professionals even in the professional design and advertising industries.

Yes, you can; the resulting print is 5.33 by 4 inches in dimension.
No. The printed image has a size and you can determine pixels per inch using a ruler and your knowledge about the number of pixels. If you can’t apply the ruler to the image the units on the ruler have no meaning to the image.A digital image does have a resolution. This resolution, measured in pixels
Up to here I agree…per
inch, is stored as part of the file, usually in the file’s header. The resolution makes no difference until the image is printed; nevertheless, it is still a property of the file, and Photoshop will show it as such.
…here not.
We both know it is irrelevant until the image is printed and it stays irrelevant whether Photoshop or the pope in Rome shows it.

Well, I do know
Arizona Highways is printed in half tone, isn’t it, at
about 150-200 lines/inch. At the norm of 2.0-2.2
X lpi = ppi, then a scan or digital photo should be
from 300 ppi to 440 ppi.
That’s the way I figure it. Please correct me. It’s been a while.
National Geographic has been accepting images from Digital cameras for over a year.
Newsweek has been accepting digital images for several years. Your point is?
This has nothing to do with how good the images are; a critical reader can spot the digital images 10 out of 10 times. It has everything to do with the nature of the publication; Newsweek journalists need to be able to provide images on a very short timetable, and National Geographic prints images takein in extremely remote locations where film services and shipping services are unavailable.
A digital image beamed to the publication over satellite is often the only viable way to get images from remote places. the fact that the images are lower in quality is an accepted trade-off. It’s about convenience, not quality.

You need to qualify that.
Current digital cameras have about the same dynamic range as slide film.
But both slide and digital cameras have less dynamic range than negative film.

National Geographic has long used film, and prefers film. National Geographic now accepts digital images because sometimes, there is little alternative–not because digital is as good as film. It’s a matter of convenience, not quality–by using digital images, they can sometimes get images they could not have gotten as easily or as quickly before.

For ignoramous amateurs? Guess you’ve not noticed that many of the companies that sell scanners (both low and high end) rate them with a DPI number and only some companies use the PPI term.
Seems to me that the fine distinction has really only come up in arguments in the last couple of years.
Why some people think that the same term can’t mean different things in different contexts is beyond me.

PPI, after all, also means "pages per inch" and nobody quibbles about that.
Would it be appropriate, or even feasible for an ISO, ANSI, ASA, DIN, LSMFT or _someone_ to specify, for example, _exactly_ what Samples Per Inch (_not_ "SPI" which is taken) means for scanners, digicams and other image capture devices? Or have they? (Of course, I’d rather Samples Per Centimeter, but I’ll take what we can get.)

Samples per inch seems to be a fine definition as it restricts itself to input devices.
But you still have to specify whether you measure the CCD chip (like some camera manufacturers do) or the object size (like for scanning someting).
And then: If there is interpolation involved, how do you convert samples per inch into pixels per inch?

As long as the terminology was clearly understood and used properly, not at all. The PPI vs DPI issue is confusing solely because far too many people insist on using the two terms interchangeably, refusing to understand the difference and to use each in its proper context.
Also, can’t we all agree that dpi and ppi are sometimes synonyms?
Technically… not true. Only the screen display of the digital file is actually pixels.
