DPI

[lizzy23]

Hi everyone we are currently putting together a calendar for the Dog rescue i work with, the printers have asked for photos with a minimum DPI of 300 a lot of the photos that are being submitted even in original format are around the 75DPI, what do they need to do to achieve 300DPI

No image has a DPI until it's printed.. Ask them for the printed dimensions of the image.. dots per inch in relation to image size is mostly meaningless without knowing how many inches are required.. (then multiply inches by 300 for the pixel dimensions required).
