So, perhaps I should just post my question and here and I hope you will have time to read this.<br /><br />I am working on a 8.5 by 8.5 in that is going to be printed and my computer really gets so laggy :[ ..It is in 300 dpi.. so would it be fine if I would just change the dpi ti 72? Do I really need a 300 dpi for an illustration that has the said dimensions?<br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-77666200400375082652014-07-15T06:04:28.256-06:002014-07-15T06:04:28.256-06:00Hi Terry what DPI do you usually work at for kids ...Hi Terry what DPI do you usually work at for kids books illustration?

That's what i was trying to convey in the video. :)Will Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227970662992011469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-50799020640403408602014-05-06T00:34:19.035-06:002014-05-06T00:34:19.035-06:00Hi Will, thanks so much for the video.

I try to use few layers and keep merging layers as i paint otherwise things slow down.<br /><br />Just wondered if this would work?<br />Here output is for print but i want to work at 72dpi so there's less strain on the processor.<br />1. Create document at 2500 pixels X 3500 pixels @ 72 ppi (appox 34" x 49")<br />2. Create your digital art and flatten image.<br />3. Go to Image>Image size, enter 300 ppi in the resolution field with resample image box unchecked.<br />4. Final image is now 2500 pixels X 3500 pixels @ 300 dpi (appox 8" x 11")<br /><br />ThanksEdwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529065789357003634noreply@blogger.com
