[QUOTE="Nathan King, post: 1636409, member: 342357"] [b]Print Size is Tricky[/b] What are the actual pixel dimensions of each image? Generally speaking, the maximum enlargement that can be made from a file in inches is found by dividing each side (in pixels) by 300. This is because most printers print at 300 dots per inch (DPI). For example, if I have a 4,800 x 6,000 pixel file I can print up to 16 x 20 inches while maintaining optimum quality (4,800 / 300 = 16)(6,000 / 300 = 20). If you enlarge past this point your printer will begin to use multiple print dots to represent one pixel and your image will take on the look of an 80's video game. ;D [/QUOTE]
