Wow this video was so great! Perfectly explained for a beginner!

[momiscooking]

Oh thank God, I found your video. Explained so clearly!

[MartinHarvey]

Superb and many thanks. I assume this explains why the image returned in LR appears to be small after return from GP.

BTW we’ll be travelling around WA in 4 weeks time.

Cheers.

Oh, that's good... I need to produce 80" x 55" images at 150dpi, so this is very useful 👍

Hi Wade, I'm finding your channel very useful!
I acquired Gigapixel last night. I'm not seeing the Pixels Per Unit option on the resize window? :(

[janeprompts]

THANK YOU!! perfectly explained.. i hav been lookin for this and wondering why i couldn't get the 300dpi reading. also good to know it's basically useless to bother with it..
yoU!!

[shabayaba]

it matters if you are printing to a white toner laser printer, the rip doesnt work well with 72 dpi images, thy print every pixalated, thanks for the info though

[waldoh]

Nice video, but my updates are NOT upscaling to 300 dpt defaults everytime to 72 dip and yes, I am printing so muct be 300 dpi

[Fevaboy]

Hey thanks for the video, so is pixels per unit the same as dpi, if so can i set the resolution and the pixels per unit independently of each other, or are the locked to each other in settings? if i increase the resolution and then match the pixels per unit with it, would it work for printing correct?

Hi Wade,
Thank you so much for this clarity. Really appreciate your effort. I would need your help and suggestion. First and foremost, my updated version of Topaz Gigapixel is taking forever to export at 300dpi on almost 6x scaling. I do understand the massive file size shift from 6MB to almost 917MB for the desired upscaled version. After reaching a certain point the progress bar stays at the same location while it says processing. I have kept it onn for several hours (between 0-5 hours) multiple times and it hasn’t finished exporting as yet. I am in a thick soup as I have timelines to meet and there are more images which still needs to be added to the queue section.

Could you help me by any chance on this? I have reached out to the support team aswell and awaiting on their response.

At 72 DPI earlier when I bought the subscription for Topaz, it was working just fine and I somehow wasn’t able to find the PPI bit in the first place.

So what would I need to print a good 8 x 10 print ??

00:48 Changing the DPI setting affects the print size and image scaling
01:40 Topaz Gigapixel AI can scale images to the right size at 300 DPI or even higher.
02:33 The 300 DPI image has a higher resolution than the 72 DPI image.
03:30 The DPI reading of a file is not an accurate way to determine the DPI
04:26 You can calculate the pixel dimensions for a 300 DPI image by multiplying the print size in inches by 300.
05:14 Consider image size when aiming for 300 DPI
06:06 Convert pixels per inch to centimeters for accurate measurement

Hello Wade, I have a question. ¿Is there any software like Topaz Photo or Gigapixel to remove background in bulk? If not, what you consider is the best way to remove backgrounds. Thanks in advanced.

[desmosedici]

Hi, thanks for this video, and thanks also for the comments you left below in response to the various users.


To see if I understand, I'll try to summarize in my own way:
if you have an image that has a size of 1024x1024 pixels, I'm going to print it on two square canvases, one smaller and one larger. This image will have a DPI value that will depend on the print size, so on the small canvas it will have a high DPI value, whereas on the larger canvas the same image will have a lower DPI value.

It's correct?

Now if you want to print a photo on a 60x90cm canvas at 300dpi, make sure that in the Gigapixel and Photo Ai section "Width" (zoomed in the video) the value on "Pixels per units" is 300 px/in and then go to set "Output Width" to the value 60cm, and then in the "Heigth" section do the same (although in theory the program should maintain the aspect ratio, so setting Width should also adjust Height, correct?)

Just need to know that the 72/96 dpi is for screens, the 300 is for printing to paper. If it’s for the web or digital viewing then 72 dpi will be all you need.

[irCurts_Old_Gamer]

In Photoshop, I can just change only the DPI. e.g. a 10 x 10 in @72 dpi. I type 300 in DPI, and it changes the 10x10, but I can reset those back to 10x10 manually before saving that result. In the print-on-demand world, does this still matter at all?

[mtntopviking]

This is useful, I think. I have been beating my head against a wall kind of trying to figure this out. I have been making all my images - photo and AI - 300dpi thinking it would produce the best results when people print them out. I use Affinity Photo and resize my images to 300dpi. That always increases the image dimensions. And almost always they start out at 72dpi until I resize them. I'm still kind of confused about if it matters at all to resize the dpi to a larger number. I sell thru Fine Arts America and I need them to be large to be printed on objects like blankets, shower curtains, yoga mats, tapestries, etc., not just wall prints and so on. Should I just enlarge them thru Gigapixel and not worry about the dpi at all?

[walkertalker]

What if the image is already 300 dpi when you pload it?

[vvvkkk]

what about the new version v7? the 300 dpi in the new version is 72 dpi in photoshop

[Izabellpws]

This will unfortunately not help with preserving input format when exporting.

For me, exporting above 40mb jpg files with cmyk colour mode, will automatically save the dpi at 96.

Only way to get around it so far, is to change format on the last export step (change from preserve to jpeg + maximize from 95% to 100%)

BUT! Your colour profile will be at 24bit & uncalibrated. What that means, I don't know. But I cant guarantee my customers a perfect final output print at paper canvases above 50"
