How do I change 240 dpi in 300 dpi?

[acbee]

Hi, I shoot photos with nikon d-200. The result in raw: 240 dpi. I need them in 300 dpi for prints. What do I need to do?

Thanks for response, acb

You can change the resolution in Photoshop: Image > Image Size. Ensure Resample is unticked. The image dimensions will decrease as your increase the PPI.

(Or under the Workflow Options in the Adobe Camera Raw utility.)

240PPi should give you decent reproduction –  if you shoot a size of say 3,872 x 2,592px divided by 240 = a print size of up to 16 x 11 inches.

I would need another help...

where do I find adobe camera raw utility?

If your camera is set to output files in the raw format (.nef or .cr2), it automatically opens.

If it's set to jpeg, File > Open and set the file format to Camera Raw.

thank you very much. if I understand correctly, I cannot open adobe camera raw utility like an app, by itsself, – only, when connected with the camera when transferring them from camera to laptop?

[gener7]

No, Adobe Camera Raw will open the file wherever it is on your drive or SD Card.

In fact if you download and Install Bridge CC 2017 (latest), you can open any jpeg, tiff, or raw in Camera Raw by pressing Cmd or Ctrl r on the selected image.

thank you gene!

Glad I could help out.   I should add Bridge has a "Get Photos from Camera" button so you can connect your camera directly without removing the card, and Bridge is free for Photoshop CC 2017 users.

Thank you very much too! Both answers are very helpful to me.

Ensure Resample is unticked. The image dimensions will decrease as your increase the PPI.

I wonder: if I want to keep the dimensions of the images, then I need to mark the field 'resample', yes?

[gener7]

Indeed you must. To keep that same size in inches and yet pack more pixels in that inch, you upsample or increase the number of pixels. You can only go so far for upsampling,so plan for the size you want before you capture or scan the image.
