Render in 300 dpi in DS 4.9

I had downloaded DS 4.9 for a try but can't find where to set it for renders in 300 dpi and also in big format like 48x48 cm.

Is it possible or is it only possible to render for screen size?

In the render settings tab, under general, you can set the dimensions of your picture. Select something different from "Active viewport" for the dimension preset and input the pixel size of your pic. (DS doesn't use the dpi and physical size).

For 48x48cm at 300dpi you'll need 48/2.54*300 = 5669 px on each side (you'll probably round that to 5670)

Okay thank you

The file itself will not says it's 300 ppi. To set the ppi of an image you need to open it in Photoshop or other graphics tool, and specify the image is at 300 ppi. Set it so that the image is not rescaled. The pixel dimentions will not change, but the file will be 'coded" as having 300 ppi. There will be no loss of quality in this step, as it merely changes the informational aspects of the file.

Now, any application that uses this file knows your intention is to print the image at 300 dpi.
