Converting 72dpi jpeg to 300dpi

[mcnuttz]

Hello, I just found your site. I'm hoping that someone can shed a little light on a subject that has stumped us.

We're trying to get some promotional products made for our site. The image we sent to the production company was a 72dpi jpeg. The company is telling us now that it has to be at least 300 dpi.

I'm pretty sure we can redo the lettering with no problem, but the original image was saved from our site, and it apparently was created for the web @ 72dpi. Can this image be converted some way to 300dpi?

We're using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.

Thanks for any help that you may be willing to offer.

unfortunately, if the image doesn't have the resolution to begin with, you probably won't be able to use it. While 72 dpi is acceptable for a website, you need significantly higher resolution for printing.

So I guess you've heard this one before.....[/sarcasm]

Ok then, could someone suggest software that we can make vector images with? Perhaps a plugin for Photoshop?

It's a really simple image, just a blue star....like the Dallas Cowboys. Can it really be that difficult? I'm finding out that yes, it can be.

vector images - Adobe Illustrator works nicely, as does Corel Draw.

Yeah, it is McNutt.....and I'm in GA, too.

I actually grew up in Illinois, though.

And all this time I thought I was the only one in Georgia....:eek:

[morea]

wow, maybe you two are related!!!

Sorry for being a pain in the arse, but one more question....

Do these programs create images as vector by default?

[D-Zine]

HAAA! Really? Where in Georgia?

I thought I was the only one too (other than my sister and dad of course)!

You are NOT alone..LOL

[morea]

yes, mcnuttz. Those are both vector based programs.

Do you guys want to pat my goose? I named him Fred.

[D-Zine]

*pats Fred onna head*

yes yes..sorry to go all OT on your guys.

mcnutt (heh) you definately want a vector based program to redraw that in ;)

[morea]

OT...

old testament?

off topic?

oh, that must be it. :D

[D-Zine]

morea - that is why I lurve you...LOL

[mcnuttz]

I'm not touching your goose, but I do thank you for all of your help.

Sorry for bringing an old question back from the dead. I don't deal with graphics much, so I had no idea it was such a well-worn issue.

D-Zine.....I'm in central GA, a couple hours away from Savannah.

When's the reunion??

[morea]

I'm not touching your goose.

I am a nice girl. I didn't mean it like THAT. :eek: :D

LOL! Well if your family is even half as crazy as my side of the family then we are in for a REAL hootinanny in georgia :D

Growing up with the last name McNutt I just kinda figures I HAD to have a sense of humor, like it was a requirement or something, yanno? lol

Hey, I know a McNutt family. They're missionaries, or were. They've been to Mexico and I think they lived in Georgia for awhile, but they've also lived here in North Carolina. Could be related?

Making the move from Illinois to Georgia during the 6th grade, with the last name McNutt....

You either had to be one bad mofo, or have a crazy sense of humor.

I'd like to think I'm one bad mofo, but I'm not....
