Title: change medium jpeg file size dpi
Post by: easybuyphotos.com on August 19, 2013, 08:49
I see some photographers have the medium file size set to 300 dpi same as large, how do you do this as mine is 72 dpi for medium.

It just happened, maybe it is the size that triggers it, for instance my medium size is (mostly) 2000 x 3000 and they are 300 dpi, your medium is 8** x 1200 at 72 dpi

Thank you so much, I just set my medium to 2000px updated the settings and now my medium files are 300 dpi. So much to learn and read, Thanks again.

I just took a look at the code and it is set to 300 dpi if the longest dimension of the image (width or height) is > 1500 pixels.  Otherwise (if the longest dimension is <= 1500 pixels, then it is set to 72 dpi).

That's good to know the minimum size for 300dpi, maybe the default medium size needs to be increased from 1200px to 1500px, as 300 dpi would seem to offer better value for a customer. Thanks for your research.

You can change your sizes to whatever you like, would depend on what camera you are shooting with or what size illustrations you create I guess
