EPIC M stills to print?

[Justin Harrison]

Hey we shot a few commercial spots on an EPIC M & the client wants stills to use for prints. I pulled some and gave him the full size R3D stills along with a full size TIFF.

But the client says he needs it at 200 DPI or bigger.

Is everyone that is using a RED for print work, just scaling the images down to 200 DPI and delivering them like that?

Thanks...

yes, you just need to change the DPI of the image in Photoshop. 200 DPI is fine, but it depends on the type of print you need to do (normally is 300)
photoshop: image/image size (uncheck resample image, and change the DPI (resolution))

We do this daily.

Change your original tiff from 72 or 150 dpi to 300dpi version (same 16bit and dimensions as the original) using photoshop.

The Print house will do the rest.

Very simple.


Sharing is caring

Hey thanks for the help!

I wasn't sure if there was some magical step I was missing or if it really was that easy.

Thanks again!

Yes, Its really that easy.

300dpi is the print world.

Make sure that when you are changing the dpi of the image you uncheck the "re sample image" check box within Photoshop, otherwise it will up sample the image.
