Can anyone help convert an image to 300dpi...?

[luca brazzi]

I've got a few images taken with a digital camera, that I need converting to 300dpi for printing on to the Surrey Run 4 DVD. They are 72dpi at present, and the test print shows up as too grainy.

Can anyone please, please help. There's a free DVD to the one that can.

Are the lot small enough to transfer them by email (ie. <5MB)?

4 or 5 pictures, not too big.....

Err - 72dpi (if the scale is preserved) is fine for a DVD. The mask that is used to wok out the ink pattern is has a very low lines per inch rate to make the ink droplets much larger so they stick to the surface of the DVD. Any image taken with a 2 megapixel+ digital camera (note not camcorder) should go easily to the size of an entire DVD without any problem. So slightly confused.....???? J

My mate just bought round a couple of samples using my material. The background looks stunning, but the pictures are very blocky....he said to get the pics at 300dpi and he'd try again. Just have to wait and see....

Joust, have you mailed the covers, or shall I come and pick them up?

PS Bodo, they look pretty good so far, so eternal thanks for that...will see how they print.

Bodo has kindly resampled using "the Gimp".

I'll use these for the DVD cover. The samples I got today show the .png images as quite blocky, but if that's as good as I can get, it'll be OK. Anything better will be a bonus.

Thanks to Bodo for the DVD image re-sampling and Joust for the box cover printing, its all pretty much complete. Just finished the bonus feature, and its creating the .avi which I will append to the video, and author the DVD. Voila, then off to the duplicator......finally.
