Students signed up for their Capstone blog on blogger and pasted in their Statement of Intent from their digital file as their first post. Welcome to the bloggosphere!
Resolution of files:
72 dpi or ppi (dots/inch or pixels/inch) -> Computer monitors and Televisions
150 ppi -> print on newsprint
300 ppi or more -> print on coated stock (like photographic paper)
Size and resolution are related.
I can take a 72 ppi image and change it into a 300 ppi image in Photoshop if I change the Image/Image size from 72 to 300, click unlock proprotion and re-enter the initial pixel dimensions. Now the image will appear smaller when printed than it did on the screen, but the image will remain crisp and smooth. If I only stretched the image to 300 and did not readjust the pixel size to match the original dimensions, the final image would essentially be blown up 4.2 times. An image that is stretched up in pixel dimensions will look pixelated and blurry.
We will continue a discussion of resolution next week and do an image to place as the main image on student's capstone blog. We will also learn how to do cool things with TEXT in Photoshop.
