Small image with higher DPI in Kray

Hi everyone,
How do i increase resolution of rendered image, say, from 72 to 300dpi in Kray, but maintaining the image size. If I'm not mistaken, they have this option in Vray. Some of my friends, users of 3d's Max, used do that. Small image but with higher dpi.
Thanks.

No. Rendering engines render out pixels and not dots per inch or anything like that. DPI doesn't tell you anything about image size, it only says how close the dots will be printed on paper.
So to do what you want you can use any of the popular image processing programs like Photoshop, Irfanview, Xnview...

Also note that a smaller image with higher dpi won't give you anything in terms of actual resolution: a 20*20 cm image at 72dpi is exactly the same as a 5*5 cm at 300 dpi - still about 600*600 pixels.
If you need a precise print size at a predefined dpi resolution use Lightwave's own DPI camera plug-in, which will do the math for you and set your camera accordingly.
