Converting from raw to jpeg

[wildjob]

How do I get the best quality jpegs when converting from a raw image. I use a Canon Rebel Xsi and convert with the software which comes with it. I select the highest quality for the jpeg, but I am not sure what dpi to use the default is 300 and I can go as high as 30000. What is the best setting for the dpi for quality prints which can be cropped.

The default value is fine enough. I use a eos 5d and shoot only in RAW mode. However for printing i convert to tiff files using 300 dpi. DPI will effect the size of the file. I print 20x30 prints on a Kodack led II printer and i use 250 dpi. higher dpi beyond a point does not really improve the quality of the picture. it is actually the PPI that makes the difference.
