EOS Rebel T8i settings to change 72 dpi to 300 dpi

[googlepoint]

please tell me how to set my camera satting 72dpi to 300dpi

To get optimum printing results, assuming you are using a printer which gives best results at 300ppi - resize the image to the correct dimensions at 300ppi. So if you want a 12" x 8" print at 300ppi, set the image resize dialog to show either 12" x 8" at 300ppi or 3600px x 2400px at 300ppi, both mean the same thing.

Some graphic design software like CorelDraw use this metadata to know what  size you wish an imported/placed image to appear at on the page. If you had a 12" x 8" magazine and imported an image set at the above dimensions/resolution, the image would automatically fill the page. The page itself has a default resolution and would usually be 300ppi.

DPI/PPI is still very real and used in the graphic design/print industry.

"DPI/PPI is still very real and used in the graphic design/print industry." and "To get optimum printing results, ..."

Have nothing to do with the OP query, "please tell me how to set my camera satting 72dpi to 300dpi"

the image you are showing for DPP is for the DPI of the photo and not the PPI. DPI is for the printer, and it describes how tightly the little dots of ink are sprayed on the paper to create the photograph. Thus, I am a bit confused on how you are using the term PPI

[ebiggs1]

DPI and PPI get confused by a lot of people.

I am grateful that you simplified this for me! I am left with a question.... I only now have started to take photos in RAW and I have several that are JPEG and the resolution is 72 dpi. They were saved as 6000 x 4000 (large). So, If I am understanding correctly, before uploading to print, simply set the dpi to 300 or 350 for a better print? I have a canon rebel t8i. I honestly had not noticed till today that this was happening!
