I emailed a photo to a potential publication. I was asked to send a high resolution version. How do I do this?

Any digital image downloaded from your camera will be transformed, typically, to a 72dpi version (which seems adequate resolution when viewed on a computer screen) in order to store a smaller digital version which will transmit quickly by email.

Images which are intended for printed publication typically require to be 300dpi versions at the size they will appear on the page. Your potential publication was asking for something like a 300dpi image to be added to your email as an attachment.

Use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (or similar processing software) to take your basic download and convert to a high resolution attachment.

NOT correct. It is the total PIXEL size that determines resolution for a printer or publication. The file you want to send may be too large to send directly thru email, but you can try and make sure you tell your email program NOT to resize it for sending!!

The dpi rating is simply how a PRINTER converts a picture size to see how large it will print. If you divide the total pixel dimensions for height and width by the size you want the final print you will see the actual dpi that it can be printed at.

Is it possible to put the pic in a zip file and then when sent and opened would it be high resolution???

Thanks Wahawk and CaptainC. I've been one of those that has struggled trying to understand this. There have been several posts here on UHH about this subject lately and I thought I had finally understood and this post confirms that 'I got it'. TNmike

That's one way. Another is to use one of the FTP-type services like Send-It, or Pando. They are free and allow much larger files.

I use Thunderbird as my email client for my Gmail account and large files are sent thru Send-It I think. Just sent a HUGE file the other day, not realized how big it was until after I sent it!! Took a while to upload, but the recipient got it just fine!

Or put the file in your dropbox and send them the link to it.

I use drop box with no issues. You can then set up a shared file and email them the link :) Simples.

Dropbox will work fine. I ran into this the other day and it worked for me. Just drop a file in and it gives a URL for you to send. When other person receives, it is removed from Just Beam it (It says good for 2GB). Not bad, but I would recommend free Dropbox.

Thank you Wahawk. I understand the pixel, dpi but didn't know about this equation. I always change the dpi to 3oo. Now I know. Many thanks.

Strongly recommend that you look a little more carefully at the initial specification of the 72dpi file, I find it means that the image sensor surface has been scanned at 72dpi - whatever the final image size will be.

The publisher wanted a 'higher resolution' image - which I would interpret (as a professional publisher) as an original image rescanned at higher resolution.
