I recently had a %26quot;professional%26quot; photographer take pictures for my wedding. We went through a very long dispute because he gave me the pictures, copyright CD (edited), with 72 dpi pictures for $2000! This is lower than internet quality %26amp; I want to print a large picture for my wall someday. Right now, I want 11x14s for a photobook. I want the pictures clear %26amp; sharp. I did a 8x11 photobook for my parents %26amp; the larger pictures looked dotty. The pixels are 2592x3888 which is OK. I have Windows. But if MAC is better, I can borrow a friends computer. I need instructions on how to increase the dpi myself. Also, can the photographer change them all easily with a click of a button? He made it sound like extra work that I would need to pay for which I refuse. If it is easy, exactly how can he do this? I may do a complaint. I think he transfered all his orginals to his Mac.How to increase picture resolution?
You are trying to defraud the photographer and break the law by breaching legal copyright by the looks of it.How to increase picture resolution?
72 dpi is dots per inch for printing, where a ppi is 72 pixels per inch, check images again for properties/ info 72 is monitor quality, 96 is printer quality, ...
pixels 2592 x 3888 = 36 x 54 %26quot; = 3 feet by 4.5 feet, ...
approx 鈮?200 kb file size,
if at 6x9%26quot;, resolution is 432 ppi
if at 300 ppi, image size is 8.6 x 12.9 %26quot;
check advanced print options when printing for dpi quality, for photo, usually around 300, may be adjustable on some printers, lower quality is for document settings,

increasing pixels per inch, would make image even large per say , if now at 3x4陆 feet, doubling to 6x9 feet, at 72 ppi, is 5184 x 7776 , not better, just bigger,
2592 x 3888 is related to 10mp / megapixel of camera,
8x13%26quot; @300 dpi estimate,

in photoshop or editor, you can try sharpening, or unsharpen mask, you could increase ppi resolution % wise, and may help, but best check printer options first,

Those should be fine. As stated above, when the DPI is set correctly for printing, you should have quality photos. Somehow it just sounds like you are doing printing at the 72 DPI number, which, of course, it too low. When the DPI is increased WITHOUT any resampling done, you can still get some relatively large photos, (I'm not going to repeat the same dimensions as given above, they are correct). Are you trying to print yourself? If so, you need to set the DPI correctly in a program such as Photoshop. If you are submitting the full size files to an online printer, then even sending at 72 DPI should be fine as they SHOULD print at the correct DPI for their printers at the given print size. Also, if there is a need to raise the resolution by some amount, an online lab has printer software such as RIPS that will do a MUCH better job of it that any home program you can use.
A Mac or PC makes no difference what so ever in this situation, the computer has nothing to do with it.
You have proper files for printing, but somewhere along the line they are not being output at the proper printer resolution.
If you need a GOOD lab for prints, Mpix is as good as they come:

You issue isn't about the 72 ppi images. You should contact your photographer and ask for the high resolution images. MANY photographers only give you the 72 ppi images, so that you HAVE to come back to them to get decent prints and enlargements. Call the photographer, he should still a have the images. Of course, he MAY say youdidn'tt have an agreement to get a copy of the hi-res images (he loses print money if you do).
But, trying to increase the resolution on the 72ppi jpgs will only make them blurry.
