When you raise the PPI without resampling the image (i.e. without changing its pixel dimensions), you are basically printing the image at a smaller size. The problem you've noticed is with resampling (physically resizing the image) which always degrades image quality. This can be confusing for those new to image editing. Perhaps read The Myth of DPI (an old article but still very relevant). | |
