Soliciting help as I'm spinning wheels and time doing something I don't do. I have asked a friend to help me create a logo from a photo I took (for my tutoring business), and she has done that job. I need my tutoring name to go below; however, I do not have photoshop and I've tried Kizoa and PicMonkey to get the desired text (see sample below) with the problem I have to keep the photo at 300 dpi for the school where I am a business partner (this will go on their site next to my sponsorship). The text I have put is just an idea, but can anyone tell me how I can add text in some editor that will NOT change the dpi when I download to my computer. Or is this something I should be doing in Publisher or something? Jeez, I feel so dumb, but you are the only community that I know I can go to without being chastised for admitting my limitations (at least I THINK that's the case--haha).
@darylo this is not an area I understand a lot about, but are you sure they have not asked for 300 pixel logo image? that is different to 300 dpi.
300 dpi is only relevant to printing (dots of ink per inch on paper etc) // 300 ppi is pixels per inch to describe screen resolution. It would make sense they have asked for 300 pixels on the wide side. Your image is 1024 x pixels here on 365 upload.( ie there are 1,024 pixels across the width of your 365 version of the file, you would need to down-size your file to exactly 300 pixels wide) http://daraskolnick.com/image-dpi-web/ not sure about picmonkey ability but I would have thought it would let you do that & then resize (by image/size command, NOT image/ crop) your image to 300 pixels by 200 pixels ( if you are in 3:2 ratio). but I might be completely up the wrong tree ;-D
Lynn, here is what I was emailed for instructions: "We simply need a nice high resolution image. 300 dpi & above would be ideal. Often citing a dimension is misleading because 2" x 3" is not high quality, if it's only at 72 dpi, where an image of the same dimensions at 300 dpi is great." @ltodd
