Ok, here's something else I'm curious about. I generally edit all of my photos in DPP and/or PS. Someone told me that when I save it in PS I first need to go to "mode" and then select "8 bits/channel". I do know that if I don't select that then I don't have the option to save it as a jpeg. I don't know WHY I do that though. Other than the whole jpeg thing.
I also just noticed today that when do a "save batch" in DPP, it automatically pulls up 72 dpi. I read yesterday that for prints it should be 300 dpi. Is that right? And how do I know what the dpi is when I save it after editing in PS?
Lastly, I usually shoot in the biggest size I can so I can crop it. After a family vacation in May I edited all our photos and then had them printed. I was bummed to have several that I had cropped come back differently then how I had cropped them. For instance, I took this photo of my son.
And then I cropped and edited it. (You can see that I had focus issues here as well. As I mentioned in my other post...if I had the aperture set a little more open I think I would have had more in focus and not just the top of his head. ????)
But when I got the print back part of it was cut off. Something about the crop ratio or print ratio? Obviously I don't know. So where can I learn how small I can crop something and still have it print correctly?
Thanks!
