How to Change DPI in Photoshop Elements
Photoshop Elements is a powerful, user friendly photo editing program (the little brother of Photoshop). With it, you can do any number of things to images, from cropping to adding effects. And while Photoshop Elements is intended for consumers, it can be used to produce images ready for professional printing. However, when printing professionally, you need to provide the printer with a version of your image that has a high enough resolution, or DPI.
