00:48 Changing the DPI setting affects the print size and image scaling
01:40 Topaz Gigapixel AI can scale images to the right size at 300 DPI or even higher.
02:33 The 300 DPI image has a higher resolution than the 72 DPI image.
03:30 The DPI reading of a file is not an accurate way to determine the DPI
04:26 You can calculate the pixel dimensions for a 300 DPI image by multiplying the print size in inches by 300.
05:14 Consider image size when aiming for 300 DPI
06:06 Convert pixels per inch to centimeters for accurate measurement
Superb and many thanks. I assume this explains why the image returned in LR appears to be small after return from GP.
BTW we’ll be travelling around WA in 4 weeks time.
Cheers.
DPI can be confusing for people, but I am hoping to create a solid explain er video soon. That awesome mate! I've never been to WA but I've heard good things. I hope you have a great time!
@@WadeMcMaster I’ll look forward to it Wade.
As an FYI we lived in Sydney 1992-94 when I was on the team that put Optus in so had a few good friends as a result. Over the last decade, during our “leisure” years we’ve revisited the lucky country quite a few times and have travelled to all the states and territory. A year ago we focused on S Australia going up to Quorn and down to Kangaroo Island and then took the Indian-Pacific across the country. Also spent some time in outback NSW tracking the Darling.
Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU!! perfectly explained.. i hav been lookin for this and wondering why i couldn't get the 300dpi reading. also good to know it's basically useless to bother with it..
thaaaaank yoU!!
I'm so glad you understood it! So many people are caught up because it's just confusing until you realize how it works. Thank you :)
i literally almost paid for an app/software..and then i thought nah..gigapixel IS for this stuff.. did a search.found a few videos that explained ..nonsense..and then yours.. and yes understood perfectly..and it works ! so glad i subbed to your channel a while back=)
@@WadeMcMaster
I'm so glad I could help! DPI is confusing for a lot of people, because it's just not quite well explained by most sources.
Hi Wade, I'm finding your channel very useful!
I acquired Gigapixel last night. I'm not seeing the Pixels Per Unit option on the resize window? :(
Oh, that's weird. Is it set to centimetres or inches?
@@WadeMcMaster Same here, I bought it today (Photo AI) and there is no setting for DPI. I'm confused.
Oh, that's good... I need to produce 80" x 55" images at 150dpi, so this is very useful 👍
I'll use Midjourney's 4x image and go from there, this is a great tip 👍
I still don't understand, however, how I can take my 12,000 x 8,250 picture at 72dpi, import it into Printify/whoever and it says, "150dpi".
I mean, I do get it, as 12,000 / 150 = 80 inches,which is how big the product is, but an image at 1024 x 1024 @ 72dpi would be the same as a 1024 x 1024 @ 300dpi on a product... Wibble
@@mkingscott Changing the DPI of a 1024x1024 image only changes how big the image should be when printed. The DPI simply says how small or large the image needs to be in order to meet the 300 dots per inch on a physical print. It will always be 1024x1024 pixels in size.
@@ZqzkcV8lGK Thank you 👍 Stupid maths 🤣
Dpi can be quite confusing until you understand the maths haha
Just need to know that the 72/96 dpi is for screens, the 300 is for printing to paper. If it’s for the web or digital viewing then 72 dpi will be all you need.
True. But don't get caught up with the dpi reading in the file. Instead consider the dpi to be the number of pixels per inch of print.
So 3x3 inch print is:
900x900pixels @ 300dpi
216x216pixels @ 72dpi
This is important for an accurate dpi in your Image
Hi, thanks for this video, and thanks also for the comments you left below in response to the various users.
To see if I understand, I'll try to summarize in my own way:
if you have an image that has a size of 1024x1024 pixels, I'm going to print it on two square canvases, one smaller and one larger. This image will have a DPI value that will depend on the print size, so on the small canvas it will have a high DPI value, whereas on the larger canvas the same image will have a lower DPI value.
It's correct?
Now if you want to print a photo on a 60x90cm canvas at 300dpi, make sure that in the Gigapixel and Photo Ai section "Width" (zoomed in the video) the value on "Pixels per units" is 300 px/in and then go to set "Output Width" to the value 60cm, and then in the "Heigth" section do the same (although in theory the program should maintain the aspect ratio, so setting Width should also adjust Height, correct?)
You nailed it! It's all mathematics haha. Thank you :)
@@WadeMcMaster grazie

Hello Wade, I have a question. ¿Is there any software like Topaz Photo or Gigapixel to remove background in bulk? If not, what you consider is the best way to remove backgrounds. Thanks in advanced.
Not that I know of sorry. The programs that are out there still can be hit or miss too, so I usually end up in Photoshop personally - I still find the manual way the best way unfortunately (as backup to using 'select subject's)
Thanks for your response
Hi Wade,
Thank you so much for this clarity. Really appreciate your effort. I would need your help and suggestion. First and foremost, my updated version of Topaz Gigapixel is taking forever to export at 300dpi on almost 6x scaling. I do understand the massive file size shift from 6MB to almost 917MB for the desired upscaled version. After reaching a certain point the progress bar stays at the same location while it says processing. I have kept it onn for several hours (between 0-5 hours) multiple times and it hasn’t finished exporting as yet. I am in a thick soup as I have timelines to meet and there are more images which still needs to be added to the queue section.
Could you help me by any chance on this? I have reached out to the support team aswell and awaiting on their response.
At 72 DPI earlier when I bought the subscription for Topaz, it was working just fine and I somehow wasn’t able to find the PPI bit in the first place.
That sounds frustrating. My main question would be - how big is the original image you're putting in? The recommendation is to make the image no bigger than 20,000 pixels either side (regardless of dpi), so you may need to try a smaller scale. Beyond that resolution there's nothing to really gain anyway, no image really needs to be beyond that when it comes to print.
The other thing is, as mentioned in the video - the dpi setting doesn't actually matter. If 72dpi works, at the same pixel resolution - just use that. the dpi on the file only calculates the dpi by converting every 300 pixels to an inch.
@@WadeMcMaster Cheers Wade for the information again. Is there a possibility we could schedule a quick 15-minute consultation call to clarify this, please? Let me know and I can further write you over mailer to schedule our call. Cheers Wade, you are the magic wand :D Have fun
Thank you mate. I think we can manage a quick chat. Send an email to info@creatorimpact.com and we can go from there.
This is useful, I think. I have been beating my head against a wall kind of trying to figure this out. I have been making all my images - photo and AI - 300dpi thinking it would produce the best results when people print them out. I use Affinity Photo and resize my images to 300dpi. That always increases the image dimensions. And almost always they start out at 72dpi until I resize them. I'm still kind of confused about if it matters at all to resize the dpi to a larger number. I sell thru Fine Arts America and I need them to be large to be printed on objects like blankets, shower curtains, yoga mats, tapestries, etc., not just wall prints and so on. Should I just enlarge them thru Gigapixel and not worry about the dpi at all?
I see what you mean, it's very confusing if you're not used to dealign with DPI, I worked in a commercial printing business for over 10 years - simply put, it is only a measurement.
The only governing factor in image resolution (for bitmaps like JPG, PNG etc and what AI produces) is pixels. If an image is 10,000 x 10,000 pixels then changing the DPI has no effect - the higher the DPI in the file information, the lower the print size will be to compensate as every 300 pixels of measurement is the 300 'dots' per inch.
So a 3000x3000 px is:
300dpi at 10x10 inches
150dpi at 20x20 inches
600dpi at 5x5 inches
Simple answer - max out the pixel size as high as you can, ignore the DPI information and you'll be set :) Gigapixel is great for that.
If it helps, I find most files will print perfect at 8000 x 10,000 px wide. The bigger the print, usually the further away it is viewed and the DPI requirements drop.
I hope that helps!
Thank you very much. That does help actually. @@WadeMcMaster
Nice video, but my updates are NOT upscaling to 300 dpt defaults everytime to 72 dip and yes, I am printing so muct be 300 dpi
Have you calculated the print size to see if the pixel dimensions match? Remember, the dpi reading of the file isn't what counts. There is no such thing as a "300dpi image file", dpi is simply a measurement you use to determine how big the file can be printed.
If you plan on printing it 10inches x 10 inches then the age size needs to be 3000 x 3000 pixels to be 300dpi. Whatever size it is in inches, multiply that by 300 to get the pixel dimensions required for 300 dpi.
@@WadeMcMaster Thank you , yes all my images for for print, so they have to be 300 dpi as requested by the print company. Also IO contacted Topaz and it appears there is an issue with the new update. Hopefully, it will be resolved. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply. :)
In Photoshop, I can just change only the DPI. e.g. a 10 x 10 in @72 dpi. I type 300 in DPI, and it changes the 10x10, but I can reset those back to 10x10 manually before saving that result. In the print-on-demand world, does this still matter at all?
At the end of the day, the only difference in quality comes from the pixel dimensions, for print on demand i aim for 6000 x 6000 pixels up to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels.
Then if you need 300 dpi, you only need to divide those pixel resolutions by 300. So a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel image, divided by 300 = 33.33, so it can be printed up to 33.33 inches at 300dpi - the reading on the file itself is useless really.
I hope that helps!
So what would I need to print a good 8 x 10 print ??
At 300dpi, the pixel resolution needs to be 2400 x 3000px (ignore the dpi reading if necessary, as this is the true size). however, slightly bigger can help to giv eyou a margin for error, in case something needs to be trimmed off when printing (bleed).
what about the new version v7? the 300 dpi in the new version is 72 dpi in photoshop
Does it really? Well, it really doesn't matter. It's only a measurement of pixels.
For every 300 pixels of measurement you get an inch of print (at 300dpi). Relying on the dpi reading of the file itself is incredibly unreliable compared to doing the math of how many pixels the image needs to measure for the print size. Eg. A 10inch x 5inch image should be 3000px x 1500px. That's all that matters really.
@@WadeMcMaster thank you for the information , ok I think now I tried another image it is 300 dpi now..weird, but still ai images are opened in 72 dpi. but how can I sell images in 300dpi
No problem, you can use something like Wirestock to sell from directly, or you can go premium with them to submit to stock photo sites. that may help?
Hmm, i think thats still 72 dpi for me, when I use those settings it works, but when I delete the exif data it goes back to 72 dpi, which means the 300 dpi is fake? let's discuss.
Dpi is only a measure. The exifnreading only confuses people. Each dot (from dpi - dots per inch) is a pixel.
3000 x 3000 pixel image is 300dpi at 10x10 inches. The exact same image at 3000 x 3000 pixels is then also 600dpi at 5 x 5 inches. Print the same.image at 20 x 20 inches it becomes 150dpi
Does that make sense? All an image is is pixels, there's no dpi factored into the image itself, it simply reads the pixels at a certain print size.
@@WadeMcMaster thank you, for your explanation,, so i dont think that dpi for now,
This will unfortunately not help with preserving input format when exporting.
For me, exporting above 40mb jpg files with cmyk colour mode, will automatically save the dpi at 96.
Only way to get around it so far, is to change format on the last export step (change from preserve to jpeg + maximize from 95% to 100%)
BUT! Your colour profile will be at 24bit & uncalibrated. What that means, I don't know. But I cant guarantee my customers a perfect final output print at paper canvases above 50"
I hear you. But as long as youhave the right pixel dimensions, whatever the file reads is kind of irrelevant anyway - any print or design program simple converts the pixel dimensions per inch to the DPI of the print. So even jsut upscaling should do the trick if the pixel dimensions are large enough for 300 pixels per inch of print lineally.
dpi is a relative size, not an absolute one. it refers to your output device, not to the image. that's the whole issue. 😐
Exactly. It seems to be difficult for most people to grasp though
