Rendering images at 300 DPI

[ianosss]

Hi. I'm trying to render images at 300DPI. When I render images in Corona VFB they are coming out as 72 DPI rather then 300 DPI. I open the image in photoshop and its saying its 72DPI. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

My setting in the render settings are A4 at 300DPI.

Any advice is much appreciated. :)

Thanks

DPI doesn't make sense outside of printing on a physical media, since on screen you're viewing an image of a finite resolution.

A 300 DPI picture on a A4 is 2480 x 3507 px ( well PPI but don't go that route it's a deep rabbit hole ). So if you have chosen the A4 preset you're good to go.

You can check the difference in definition easily by changing the resolution in the Output Settings

John_Do is exactly correct, however, I have to ask what is the final destination of your image? If it is indeed print, then you are still fine either way. The only inconvenience is when you place your 2480x3507 (72 dpi) image in InDesign let's say, it will come in at approximately 24"x48" at 72 dpi. Now when you scale that image down to the correct size to about one-third, in essence, you now have an image at 8.26"x11.69" and 300dpi. As John said, it's a rabbit hole.

2480 / 300 = 8.26"
3507 / 300 = 11.69"

In the past, C4D hasn't always provided a proper image set to the A4 @ 300dip, but it DID provide the proper amount of pixels for you to set it right in Photoshop. I was in the graphics world back in the dark ages and it took years to master the process. Don't feel bad not understanding.

Good luck.
