hi guys ,
recently, i just combined a few pictures into a photo using a
picture editing tool - photoscape. i transfered it into
a thumbdrive, but when i developed it at the shop , i
found out that the photo was blur.
Should i change the resoultion of the picture before
printing?
Or should i convert the format of the pictures?
I need reply to this urgently. thanks :)
On screen, images are displayed at 72 DPI (dots per inch) where
as on print, it's typically 300 - 600 DPI. That means, a picture
that has 720 dots in width will cover 10 inches across your monitor
but only 2.4 inches on paper (at 300 DPI). And if you try to
stretch that, you'll get a blurry print.
So, as a rule of thumb, if you want to print a quality picture,
make sure it's clear and is at least 4 times bigger (in width and
height, not area) than the actual print size on screen.
One more thing, make sure you save your image in a lossless
format (eg. BMP, PNG-24, TIFF). If you save it in JPEG or GIF, the
image's gonna lose details and that wouldn't be something you want
to happen.
