When selecting photos for your MTD Presentation Album, it's best to try to get the best resolution possible...

So you have a photo you like, but how do you know it's an OK size for print? Here are a couple tips for finding out photo size and resolution:

Eye Test!

First, try this... Look at the photo, does it look grainy or blurry? If yes, you may want to consider choosing a larger photo.

If it passess the eye test, click below for additional tips to see if this will be a good photo for your presentation album

Mac Help

  1. Save the photo to your desktop
  2. Right click photo and click "Get Info"
  3. Look for "Dimensions" under "More Info"
  4. Anything above 2000 pixels is probably a safe bet, but remember, if it's blurry on your screen, it could look even more blurry (not less!) on paper.
  5. Email commrequest@reliant.org if you have specific questions or concerns

PC Help

  1. Save the photo to your desktop
  2. Right click photo and click "Properties"
  3. Under "Image" you'll find Dimensions and Resolution
  4. Anything above 2000 pixels is probably a safe bet, but remember, if it's blurry on your screen, it could look even more blurry (not less!) on paper.
  5. 300 dpi (under horizontal and vertical resolution) is best... HINT: Facebook photos are only 72 dpi, which means the resolution is MUCH lower than ideal.
  6. Email commrequest@reliant.org if you have specific questions or concerns

    Mike Swann Here's a page Chelsea put together to help with photo resolution.

  2. Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org) and user-a834d, looks great.

    Do we also want to put in there an "eye test"? Something like "If it looks grainy or blurry to you by sight, you may want to consider another photo."
