TWyPGn Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hello, I am trying to make 8x10 image (a poster with collage pictures in it) in Photoshop, and I want to get this image printed through Wal-Mart on 8x10 paper. When viewed at 100% the image seems very large. I am not sure if this image when printed will be the exact 8x10 or if it would be larger than that. I can't figure out the right image size / pixels to set the image to get a coordinating 8x10. Here is Image size: Document size: W: 8 inches H: 10 inches Pixel dimensions: W: 1600 pixels H: 2000 pixels Resolution: 200 pixels/inch How can I make sure that I have the 8x10 image that gets printed exactly without any automatic cropping by the printing dimensions? Could anyone please help me out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Don't worry about the pixel dimensions. Just make sure the document size is 8x10 inches. One other minor thing... You'll get better quality if you use 300 pixels/inch rather than 200. 300 is the standard dpi for printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWyPGn Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks falkencreative for your reply as well as the tip for better quality image. I hope the image gets printed as it is without any automatic cropping (as cropping of the image has happened before). Anyways, thanks!
