What is image resolution? How does it affect my print quality?
A digital photo is made of several individual pixels. The total number of pixels in the image is its absolute resolution. The number of pixels per inch is its pixel density or Dots Per Inch or dpi. Although an image may look good on screen, it needn’t be a high-resolution image and needn’t turn out well in print. The resolution of an image affects it’s print quality. Higher the dpi, higher the resolution. Higher the resolution, higher the print quality. But, as the resolution increases, the size of the image file also increases. The mininum recommended dpi for images to be printed in our photo books is 150 dpi. If the image resolution is below 150 dpi, a warning sign will be shown over the image. This warning sign means that the selected photo has a low resolution and will not be clear when printed. To fix this, use the zoom tool or resize the photo frame till the warning sign disappears, or, use a high-resolution image.
