When we take pics with our D80 at max camera resoltion and then process the
pics thru DI9. The edited picture comes out not at the 2.5mg of the camera
but as a 250k picture that has very poor resolution. We need the max
sharpness that the camera can give us in the prints. We are shooting objects
at 4 ft, 35mm/f8, A priority setting, on a Manfrotto w/ball head tripod and
using a remote flash control.
We have read every thing we can find and check all of our camera settings.
We post the pics thru DI9 using a HP L2208w screen set to the max
resolution. Pics look bad on the screen and print out the same way.
Why does the DI9 software reduce the resoultion by 90%. Is ther some setting
that we are missing. Do I need Photo shop? Any suggestions are appreciated.

==================================
This is not expected behavior of DIS9 and I
have been unable to recreate a similar result.

Are these photos saved on your hard drive
before importing into DIS9?

Please describe exactly how the photos are
imported into DIS9 and what steps you use
when saving.

Are these photos resized or cropped in any
way while in DIS9?

What is the Pixel size of the original photo
and the Pixel size of one that has been saved
in DIS9.

There are two places that resolution can be
affected in the DIS9 settings.

1) Tools / Options / Resolution and compression settings...
Best setting is : 'None (best quality, largest file size)'

2) File / Save As / Options button...
Drag the slider to 100% /

FWIW...it's always best if you edit copies or save the
edited files under a new name....this way you always
have the original unedited file for archival purposes.
