I used photoshop to create a logo for my business. I need to print business cards but vistaprint.com requires 300 DPI. How can I create the same image at this resolution?
Thank You

You should have started with a blank canvas at 300 dpi.



Changing later to a higher DPI is not a good idea. The computer has to make up the missing pixels.



Most printing business require a pdf file for printing. You can save your Photoshop as a pdf.



Again, rather than using Photoshop it would have been much better to have used Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator creates Vector Art (which has unlimited enlarging ability) unlike Photoshop which uses Bit Map.

The first person gave you an excellent answer. Regarding RAW files, check your camera manual to determine whether the camera can shoot RAW images (RAW being essentially unaltered data from the sensor, or everything the sensor "sees".)

when you go to export image...type in 300 dpi where it prompts you to.
