#DPI Question
Working on a joint project with an associate, I have come across a situation
that I cannot solve:
Both users running R3 and the same .prj file, we can find no differences in the
individual 3ds.set files other than Vibrant display variables.
After rendering Tif output null at 2048×1536, my image becomes that size at 72
DPI. This is using the image info option in PhotoShop. I modem this file to the
service bureau for print and it goes directly into the Fiery Downloader with no
resizing needed.
My associate renders a different view of the same project, and the Fiery
Downloader cannot handle the file because it is too big. He is using the exact
same resolution. Looking at his image in PhotoStyler at the service bureau
reveals that the image is 2048 inches x 1536 inches at 1 DPI. This is why the
Downloader won't take his file without resizing in PS. We have found that any
action in PS changes our gamma and a darker image is output. Direct to the
Fiery Downloader creates great results.
Here is the real mystery. In PhotoShop, the image info tells us that it is
2048×1536 pixels at 72 DPI. The same image in PhotoStyler tells us that it is
2048 inches x 1536 inches at 1 DPI.
We have not had this problem before and figured it must be in 3ds.set
somewhere, but cannot find an associated switch. Any feedback on why the
different outputs would be greatly appreciated.
