How can I tell if they are high resolution?
I think it has to do with how many pixels your picture has, the more pixels, the higher the resolution. Anything greater than 3 megapixels, i would imagine would work for the postcards. not an expert, but somewhat familiar. Thanks!

Hi just wanted to put in my 2c..you don't need too high of a resolution of a picture for a postcard size print. Typically a pic taken with 2.1 mp digital camera will make a nice 8x10...any larger and you'll get graininess/noise. Resolution is the number that's like 300x600. Most cameras are now 7+ mp and will def produce a nice postcard pic.

 

(megapixels is a count of the number of dots in a certain area...the more the pixels, the finer the print).

 

We used vistaprint for our STD's. We took a picture at a beach in SF, drew the date in the sand and managed to capture a wave lapping near the date. For the side with the text, we used a picture of the lounge at the Mayan Palace set with 50% opacity so you could see the pic in the background.

 

You can also used places like iStockPhoto for a picture of PV, but I'm sure just doing a google image search you'll come up with plenty of options for free!
