A lot of times people think that a photo that looks good on screen or on line will print just as clearly. That all depends on the resolution of the photo and the scale you are enlarging it to. A file will always be fine if you reduce it, it’s blowing it up that can get you in trouble. To help understand the restrictions and how much enlarging is too much here is my rule of thumb.
- Never enlarge a file more than the resolution it is.
So, if a file is 72 dpi - don’t enlarge it more than 72 percent.
250dpi - don’t go any bigger than 250 percent and so forth.
- Always remember to be thinking about your end product. If you are building a file at half size, you have to do double the math to make sure your photos will stay in top notch quality.
Just remember, we are here to help! So, anytime you are in doubt send us the image in question. We can take a look at it and guide you through the process.
