Canon Raw

[michaelj]

Here's a dumb question for ya....

 

Are all of Canon raw pictures 14.25 inches by 9.75inches? For some reason I thought they would be bigger. Is it

possible to to change it? I have the Canon 30d.

Your camera doesn't take pictures in inches. What matters is the pixel count. The pixel count out of the camera is fixed (assuming you don't use a smaller image setting) and you can set the size in inches when you print, based on the dpi that you are printing at. Until you go to print, the inches and dpi are meaningless, only the pixel count matters.

You probably need to read this http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/digital/digital_image_resizing.html

 

dpi and/or ppi are simply labels attached to the image to tell the printer how big to print it hy default. You can change the label anytime you want to and you can change it to anything you want to. Dpi and Ppi are different, but often people get them mixed up. As Jeff says, all that really counts is the number of pixels. Anything else can be changed without affecting the original data.

stop looking at height x width in inches and start looking at height x width in pixels.
