Dpi
I've had a company approach me to use some of my photos, now I dont have the original edited files, but high quality jpgs uploaded to flickr. now I converted it to a cmyk and saved it as a .tif, I got an email back saying that designer would like a 300 dpi version, now I maybe a bit dumb here but I think my canon 350D only shoots at 72 dpi, so would I have to enlarge in photoshop to 300 dpi and risk distortion?
heres a nice break for your eyes to read as I forgot to press return.

You can convert to 300dpi in photoshop - you don't really have any other choice I guess, so I'd do that and see what they say.

When cropping for printing my images for clients, i always crop on 300dpi and there is never any distortion... HTH
But then that is using the original photos from the camera.

dpi isnt camera related what so ever as I've learned. its just to do with ammount of info per square inch.
