Thank you-- this is actually really helpful. Which setting would i change on the camera to make the image output larger?

Thanks,

Caitlin

Caitlin,

Cameras know nothing about DPI. The camera has no setting for DPI as it is meaningless to the camera. All the camera knows is total pixels. The DPI setting is a software setting. You can change that setting in most software.

Also, most software allows you to set the dimensions you need for your print and will change the dpi accordingly.

Here's one of the many writeups: http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html
