I’ve been reading down through all the topics concerning DPI and/or PPI and I haven’t found anything that helps with my problem. I have been designing using photoshop 6.0 and have recently put my creations up for sale on an online store. The store’s requirements are for all files to be saved as jpg’s or png’s and they must open up at 300ppi and in actual size. When I save in jpg format, my files reopen in the exact ppi I started at. However, when I save in png format, my files always reopen at 72 ppi. To give you a picture of what’s happening, I’ll walk you through my steps. I go to File, and New. I set the image size at 1 inchx 1 inch and 300 pixels/inch. I add text or whatever else and when I am finished, I go to File, and Save as and save the file. Then if I open the file up again, and recheck image size, it is now set at 4.167 inches by 4.167 inches and at 72 pixels/inch. Now, the width and height of the file is essentially the same because the pixel demensions stay the same: at 300x300pixels. If I reset the p/i back to 300, my file converts back to the 1inch by 1inch I started with. My questions is, how to I get the file to actually open at 300ppi instead of coverting back to the 72ppi everytime? Is this a photoshop issue or a windows(I have windows xp)issue, or neither? And how do I go about fixing it so I can meet my requirements? Thank you in advance for any advice!
