Ferrari Mailing List: Re: OT - Photo Attributes

[ken rentiers (rentiers]

Larry:

A "large" picture taken with my (pedestrian) Canon Digital Camera is  
formatted at

width - 15.644 in
height - 11.733 in
resolution - 180 DPI

This file is only 1.1 mb. If the pictures you are submitting are for  
print they are going to want them at somewhere like 300 DPI. The same  
image would appear perfectly clear and sharp on computer monitor at  
72 DPI. There are many graphics programs out there for resizing and  
reformatting. The first step is to take as large a raw image as your  
camera permits.
