In Preview, it's under Tools > Adjust Size. Note I've unchecked Resample image. Do that first, then change the resolution to 300. Click OK. Save the file.



In Photoshop, it's under Image > Image Size (or press Command+Option+I). Uncheck Resample first, then change the resolution to 300. Click OK. Save the file.

Hi cbs1614,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you have a question about iPhone 11 and the camera, and I'd like to do what I can to help out.


You can check out the camera specs for the iPhone 11 here: iPhone 11 Tech Specs


You can also compare iPhones on one screen: Compare iPhone models


Keep in mind, DPI is for printers, dots per inch. You'll want to look at MP, megapixels for photos and fps, frames per second for videos.


Take care!

The resolution is set to whatever the engineers want it to be. But there's nothing to stop you from changing the resolution of your shots afterwards to 300 dpi. Make sure to do that with resampling turned off.


And no offense to Jameson_H, but DPI was used to describe image resolution long before PPI existed. When I worked on the Scitex imaging systems (which were in use a good 8 or 9 years before Photoshop 1.0 existed), everything was in DPI. Same on the competing HeII Chromacom retouching stations. It was still called DPI in the now abandoned Scitex/Creo/Kodak scanning dialogue.


It's all what you get used to, or were told is correct. To me it's all the same with images. Point, pixel, dot. They all mean one image element, as far as I'm concerned. That said, I still always say DPI because that's what it was at the beginning of digital imaging and is the term everyone used. No one related DPI to print. That was mesh or line screen.
