When importing pictures taken with the panasonic DMC-TZ3 Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro show the resolution as 72 dpi. I have checked the camera and the pictures are taken at 7.1 mp. The photos are sharp and crisp.
The problem is with printing the photos to online services. These services see the image at only 72 dpi and won't print because of built in safe guards that state is needs a higher dpi to print a 4x6 photo.
Is there a way in the camera or either of these two programs to fool the info and replace it with 300 or higher dpi. If I try to change the photo by resizing it increases the physical size of photo 10 fold. Usually the photos are about 3 meg and this will increase them to over 300 meg.
Thanks
Sounds like Photoshop's setting, or default setting, is to import picture at its maximum size. If you RESIZE pic on Photoshop, it shoud automatically increase DPI while reducing physical size.
The other thing to be aware, TZ3 defaults to a certain jpg compression. You can minimize compression of data with settings options on TZ3, but I doubt this has anything to do with your PhotoShop issue.
Also, in SIMPLE mode you can select a physical size for photo, even after pic is taken(resize), on camera.
Hopes this helps.

I have the same problem. Photos are taken at the highest resolution 7 MP and when opened in Photoshop are 42" x 32" at 72 p/i resolution and are about 2.7 MB. How can I get them to import as 8" x 10" at 300 p/i resolution?
when i send my pics to an online service, they reject them too because of supposedly low resolution. Doesn't make sense.
