I'm submitting manuscript to a journal that requires 1200 dpi in my images. I have changed the dpi from 96 but when I upload the image with 1200 dpi, the image looks super blurry when I review my manuscript. If I open the image in word/paint/other the resolution is great but in the submission it looks blurry. It is the right dpi but it is impossible to see the figures. What should I do? I don't want this to be a possible reason for the journal to not accept my manuscript.
To increase the dpi in a picture you usually have to alter the size of the image (for instance make it smaller so that there can be more dots per inch (dpi)). I personally use photoshop to edit my pictures but I think there are some free graphic softwares as well (for example gimp). You'll have to go on “image“ on the menu and then pick the option “image size“. You should be able to just type in your numbers and than the program can adjust the size by itself. It might take a while but once you're done you can save the image as a jpg or png. Afterwards you should be able to open the images in other programs as well just the way you saved them. I think other graphic softwares should work in a similar way.
Hope this helps you.
Dear Olivia Sand ,
DPI stands for "dots-per-inch," and is a specification for printing and for setting the print resolution of an image.
To change an image's DPI in Photoshop, go to Image > Image Size. Uncheck ResampleImage, because this setting will upscale your image, which will make it lower quality. Now, next to Resolution, type in your preferred resolution, set as Pixels/Inch. Notice how theWidth and Height figures change, too.
