300dpi Stills From Red?

[Ravi Kiran]

I'm trying to extract stills from the R3D files of our Red feature for submission to the Toronto Film Festival. They're asking for 18cm/7"wide 300dpi stills. I took some .tifs a while back at full resolution, but Preview (on our Mac) tells me the image DPI is 72. Do I just resize and change the DPI manually in Photoshop or is there a way to get a 300dpi still out of RedCine?

dpi, when viewing an image on screen means nothing. Screen resolution when exporting still frames is always 72dpi. You will need to use photoshop to change resolution to 300dpi. The file size and image size will stay the same, just the way that the dpi is interpreted will change.
