You can check this with "indentify" from the imagemagick packge, e.g.: $ identify -verbose network.jpg | grep -E 'Geo|Resol|Print' Geometry: 1417x1376+0+0 Resolution: 300x300 Print size: 4.72333x4.58667 You adjust these values with Gimp, as Micheal Pobega has already suggested, or you can use imagemagick's convert command in a script if you have to process a large number of pictures. Ideally the resolution should match the resolution of the final printing device if file size constraints allow this. However, it makes no sense to increase the resolution beyond the one of your original image, unless you suspect that the printers (i.e. the final printing device and its human operators) are incapable ensuring the best possible upsampling for the final print. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
