I’m trying to create a file for the Point of Purchase Advertising show, and they specify a 3" by 3" image at 300 dpi in JPEG format. How does one specify the dpi in a JPEG? I can see no way to do this in PhotoShop, but they are very insistent in the form on the 300 dpi.

Image>Image Size and specify 300 pixels per inch and 3 x 3 inches. Then when saving as a Jpeg, use Save As, not Save For Web.

They should have specified ppi not dpi which is a common misuse of terminology. You control this by using Image – Image Size.

I’ve been using PhotoShop for over ten years and never knew this. Thanks to all.

Now, that makes me speculate what I´m missing out on…

So what is you don’t know then?

"Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know." —Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

If we knew what we didn’t know, wouldn’t we know it?
