Changing dpi in photoshop

post & let us know how it turns out.


I've made 1/2 the pages for the book I'm working on. I think it will look fine. You can see some fuzziness around the edges in some pictures (look at the edge of the mountain in the picture below).

ya. its very tough to take a webimage from 72dpi and make it print quality unless the image is large enough to begin with. if you bump up the DPI to 150-300 it will be print quality but it will retain the original pixelation from being at the lower resolution. you can try and cheat that by doing noise reduction in adobe light room or photoshop. IF you have the original file though you should be able to make that no problem. and trust me. ive been using photoshop for 12 years now and i know 10% of what it can do hahahaha. its really endless. PM me if you have any questiosn. i love geeking out over photoshop and photography questions

great to have a new photoshopper on the forum. I've been using it for many years, but never to do a lot of things. I've just started trying to learn new things with photoshop & it has been a lot of fun. I have so much to learn.

This photobook turned out great. I used the artistic effects to cover up that the images started off low resolution. They looked fuzzy in on my screen (like above the mountains) but they printed great. I used the cutout effect a little too much because it was the only one that didn't show any fuzziness. Turns out I didn't need to do that.

I gave it to her at her rehersal dinner & she really liked it. This is her telling her husband what all the pictures were of


Ideally, I would have the high resolution images, but I knew she wouldn't have time to send them to me. It also wouldn't have been a surprise then.

ya those photobooks are a great gift. i have many couples say that someone in their wedding party or a guest is a designer or photogarpher and want to design a book for them for their wedding gift and im always happy to be saved the work of designing it. i always offer them the option to have it professionally printed and bound into a real album from places that wont let non-professionals order with them though because the quality is just soooo much nicer for just maybe $200-300 more but it ends up being half the price from originally.

 

my sisters had albums done from like mypublisher.com and they are fun and worth the money though and the layout is very easy for anyone to do.
