Resolution issue
-
I'm new to this forum, so please exuse me if I'm asking a question that has already been dealt with.
Here's my problem:
I inserted a SketchUp file into LayOut, then exported it as a JPG at 300 dpi. However, when I open the exported JPG file with Photoshop, it opens at 72 dpi. Same thing happens if I try exporting the file as a .png at 300 dpi. It also happens if I export the SketchUIp model directly as a TIFF at 300 dpi.
Anyone know why the resolution changes between the LayOut export and Photoshop?
Anyone know how to keep the resolution from changing like this?Many thanks,

At a guess PS might have opened it at 72 DPI but also increased the pixel size to account for this.
DPI is only really relevant when matched to a set size (8.5"x11", for example).If you had a 1920x1080 image exported then at 300 DPI it would make a 6.4"x3.6" image. If PS shows it as 72 DPI then it would be a 26.6"x15" image.
In PS you can then adjust the DPI and the size of the image will adjust accordingly. It's the number of pixels in an image that matter -- not the DPI.

Most helpful. Many thanks.

Compare the overall pixel count (width & height) both in the jpg and in PS.
