Is there any way to set DPI/PPI of the rendered image?

I want to send an image to be printed on canvas and the directions are telling me that the image must be at least 150 ppi and 300 ppi is recommended. A google search tells me that the DPI should be in the file properties but all I see there is width, height, and bit depth so I don't know what they are by default.

use a paint program to set DPI before print (e.g. Photoshop)

Not in DS, you can only set the pixel size.

ppi doesn't mean anything by itself, it's only useful to convert pixel size into physical size, as it tells you how many pixels will be used for 1 inch in physical size. It's used by printers or image editors, but not by DS.

What physical size (in inches) is the future image supposed to be? Multiply that size by 300 and you'll have the pixel size you need to render to in DS for a 300 ppi image.

Then you can open the picture in an image editor and set the ppi there.

I see

So if I want it 24" wide then multiply 24 inches x 300 pixels/inch = 7200 pixels 

Thanks!
