Likely the requirement also includes a size, for example 5" x 7". To format your photo to be 300 dpi for the specified size multiply the length and width by 300, to determine the pixels. For the 5 x 7 example you would need 2100 x 1500 pixels. For your image at 5 x 7 you would scale to 2101 x 1576 and crop a bit from the top or bottom. When printed at 5" x 7" this will give ~300dpi. Clarify at what size the image should be 300dpi then convert to pixels per inch." ___ Christine, l love the idea at work in the MuseCubes, and I can see why it would be helpful to children as a teaching tool and for everybody for mind health. It's so delightful! It seems to me it would be perfect for colorful crayon art -- playful adult musings, or crayon art by kids. I don't sell my photos — donating them to a non-profit (especially the Hudson River Park, where most were taken) has always been in the back of my mind, but not at this point.

All of my photos appear to be 180 pixels per inch, no matter what size in inches, so I am assuming that's standard? I don’t understand 300 dpi?
