Question

Migrate raw image to PS from LR retaining 300 ppi

I am very new to Lightroom. Have set my PS preferences for raw files to 300ppi. When I open a Nikon NEF file in LR CC and then select edit in Photoshop, it always opens as 240ppi. I can't find settings in LR to change this. Would appreciate guidance.

Cannot be changed. The default is 240ppi.

Why is PPI important to you?

Changing the PPI does not change the 'Pixel' dimensions of an image.

Changing the PPI does not change the 'Quality' or 'Resolution' of an image.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Thanks. I understand what you're saying about pixels and quality. Guess I'm just used to 300ppi.
