300 dpi

    I am using NextCellent Gallery with NextGEN Download Gallery,
    I upload the images at 300dpi.
    Two things happen when I download an image, one the metadata is scraped off, most newspapers now want the captions and copyright info embedded, and two, the image is the same size, but the resolution has changed to 72dpi.
    Now I realise this is not really a problem for the Art Department at a newspaper or Magazine. But a journalist just emailed me to say she needed 300dpi images and the downloaded files are 72dpi. So I will have issues trying to explain this to them.

    I realize there are other processes at play here, that the issue may not be caused by NextGen download gallery, if you could shine a light on the two issues I would really appreciate it.

    I figured it out! I have EWWW Image Optimizer plug-in installed. It optimises every image uploaded to 72dpi and strips out metadata.
    The site is complete, so I have it turned off now, all new images to the media gallery upload normally.

    NextGEN Download Gallery is a very nice plug-in!

    G’day Patrick,

    Glad you figured that out. I’ll have to remember that one in case it comes up again!

    cheers,
    Ross
