Ok , so i need to make a logo design in photoshop , .png , 1000x1000px, 150 dpi. I open new file, set those parameters, make a logo, save for web and devices, choose PNG24, and save it. now , when i right click on picture, properties, i see that its only 96 dpi! Now , my question is: How the hell can i save it as 150 dpi? Sorry for foul language, but i tried everything :S
It NEEDS to be .png, and it is not for website, it is for t-shirt design. so it really needs higher dpi
Yeah, Save as, png , helped, yay!
Thanks Ponies lover :D
 
The DPI setting goes screwy when you let PS change it by saving the image "for web".

Create a new file, 1000*1000 pixels, 150 DPI, 16 bit color.
Then choose "save as" and select the PNG format.

1000x1000 pixels at 150 DPI works out to a 6.7 inch square pint. When creating a file, you can also set the desired print size at 150 DPI instead of a fixed number of pixels.

And I agree with the above answer - Photoshop is great for editing stuff but other programs are better suited for creating images form scratch.
 
Images saved for websites do not need to be saved at DPI's higher than 72 DPI, so 96 DPI is good enough. There are very few computer monitors even capable of resolving 96 DPI.

The only files that need to be 150 are those destined to be printed in high quality magazines or books, where 150 dpi is standard.

Try this. Save the final image as a TIFF and set the DPI to 150. I don't know who your client is, but their prepress people can deal with a TIFF and can convert it to the resolution they need.

My clients like me to send them DNG files so they can manage the colour work space as needed to be compliment with the ICC profiles of their printers.

Why are you attempting to create a logo using Photoshop? I would think that In Design or Illustrator would have been the choice for making logos
