See if you can change the DPI value. I use 200 DPI for all my prints (the most that Costco will print.) At that setting an 8x10 is 2000x1600 and is nice and sharp.
Normal setting for web images is 72 DPI. Here's one of the driveshaft of my car after the pinion yoke snapped and the driveshaft beat its way through everything under the car until it got free...by which time it was folded up like a soda straw. Ohh...yeah....I'm done for the event and the year. The GPS said I was doing 137 when it all went to hell.

Check "properties" and see what the pixel dimensions are. I think.......a photo 640 X 427 pixels will/may print fairly well at 4 x 6 inches and maybe slightly larger before pixelation comes into play. The more pixels obviously the better. I'm just guessing but if you have a pixel size of 1200 x 850 you may be able to get an 8 x 12 print.3 mp ain't a lot. P Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:54:46 -0600 Subject: [ratpack] Re: I used to...

Maybe Mutely or Aleta has some ideas, as they have much more experience with Photoshop. I only have Photoshop Elements 3 and a cheap (free) Microsoft photo program.I looked at your photo full screen and it looked fine to me, what is the original pixel size?Paul CC: ratpack@xxxxxxxxxxxxx From: mcwellsphoto@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [ratpack] Re: I used to...

Ratpackers,I used to lug my camera around with me where ever I went, but I learned it's not good for your equipment to sit in a dark hot car during the summer and in the trunk in the winter so my camera sits at home where it can be stolen, but that's another story. Now where was I? Oh yes, well I had a work event in Tooele and I was able to leave a little early and this is what I saw, now this is when I wish I had my camera with me, this picture was taken with my iPhone but I couldn't pass it up. You don't often see a windless evening on the lake so I was able to capture this mirror finish sunset.Enjoy.
