I have created a large file with many photos and text in it (CorelDraw). Everything is 300 dpi in CMYK. When I choose to print it (tiled) I get the message you see below.
I have searched through all the photos one-by-one, plus looked at the document using wireframe for something hidden but cannot find anything. Is there a way to have Corel show me where that item is? It is very annoying to get these printing issue notices without it showing where the problem lies.
Well, the best way to find a correct answer is to open the document, if you want you can attach the CDR, upload to a free storage service (megaupload, gigasize, etc) or if not for public share, you can send me as an e-mail
Sometimes, if you have a 300 dpi bitmap and enlarge it, the resolution will change. Sometimes is relative to any effect, such as drop shadow.
Ariel, the file is 85 MB so that would be a problem and it is a file for a client so I would not want to put it onto a public site. But as I said, I have searched each item through the Object Manager and by checking each bitmap and can find nothing that is only 96 dpi, it is hidden somewhere. I also tried using the Edit / Find and Replace but it won't look for anything by dpi. I was hoping there was a way, at this point I want to suggest it to Corel as a possible feature to add to the next version. When print issues list a problem there should be a way to click on that issue and have it reference the problem in the document. Thanks for your help again Ariel.

Ahh.. I think i see. When you tile it later, the DPI will drop from what you have on Draw's page

Yes, we have a awesome macro coming out that solves this and many other issues: CDR Preflight. It will notify you of problems and take you to them in your file.
For now, instead of tiling, copy your contents to a new file for a test, and scale it to output size. I'll bet some bitmaps will be under 96 DPI...

Thanks Jeff, by the way, you are getting younger and younger looking while the rest of us are aging, what's your secret Sorry, I don't understand your instructions - scale it to output size. I should have explained, this project is 26" x 18.5" that is why I have to tile it to print. I just tried going into print without tiling it and that message about the 96 dpi bitmap is still there, of couse now it also says output won't fit on media. Can you be more explicit about scaling it and how this will show the lo res bitmap?

that is called "excess of PhotoPaint"
