I have a Rebel EOS SL2 and I have a picture that I was submitting to an exhibit and the pixels under properties for this image is 3555 x 3983 pixels. I used GIMP to confirm that the dpi for my 8 x 10 printed picture would be at least 300 dpi and it should be based on the conversion of pixels to dpi (3555/300 = 11.85 & 3983/300 = 13.28). Basically I should be able to print up to an 11 x 13 picture with this image and still get a 300 dpi quality print. However, when I received my printed image, it just doesn't look as good as it did on my screen, which I understand is 72 DPI. I am not sure why my picture does not look as good when printed. What am I missing? Could it be related to my background blur or something else I am not considering? I ordered my print from an online source and had it mailed to me, so I am not processing/printing images myself. Can anyone provide any insight into what I might be missing.
I am not sure yet as I have not used DPP yet. I just downloaded it. I think my previous comment might have been confusing. What I was trying to say was that if DPP does not have all the options I might need my next step will be to try Lightroom or PS.
