léonie - thank you for the duck photo and explanation. I always thought photos consisted of pixels that are a square inch each. Maybe the converter will help as it seems so complicated.

As you can see I followed your suggestion of looking for the dpi info. in Preview. How can I change this to 300 dpi?

The pixel dimensions need to be 2400X2700 for a minimum 300 DPI print.

8"X300 = 2400

9"X300 = 2700.
