Graphic imaging question...
1. What's the best dpi for a graphic art to be used for a poster?Like for example for 20x30 inch poster.
2. What's the best file size [pixels] in PSD?
Thanks.

300 pixels/inch.
But for a poster I wouldn't use Photoshop, in my experience the text of fuzzy. If you can, do the images in Photoshop (or similar) and then link them into a vector program (ie Illustrator) for the text. Much crisper.Colin

If you make a poster in Photoshop you better have a huge amount of memory, at least 1 GB.

Yes, I make my posters in Photoshop AND Illustrator. When I use Photoshop, I work with a ridiculously high resolution.

yep, 300 to 400 dpi should be fine for a poster.
