I was wondering at what resolution y'all output your RAW files?
Thanks!

I don't think it really matters as it doesn't change the quantity of pixels, but I print on an Epson at home and output to 360ppi.

Mel's right. I do mine at 300dpi, just because it's easier to calculate any future needs in my head. Think of it this way: If you convert to tiff at 240dpi, you'll get larger dimensions in your output file. If you use 360dpi, you'll get a smaller final image. But in the end, it's six of one, half dozen of the other. Sort of like adding two numbers to equal 10. You can get there with 5+5 or 2+8. In the end, you still get 10.

Like Todd, I output to 300ppi.

OK, thanks. I was working on some images and just got to wondering about it and thought I'd ask. I have been doing mine at 300.
