F.A.Q and Help:

Q:    What size enlargements can my digital camera produce?

A:    A camera with at least 5 MP will print 8x10 photos at excellent quality, even a 16x20 will be of acceptable quality.  A 12 MP camera will give you excellent 10x13 prints and acceptable 20x30 prints.  The quality will vary depending on the exact specifications, sensor size and features of your camera.

Q:    How do I properly setup my files?

A:    All images should be setup at their desired print size and 300 dpi.  This will give you the highest print quality without artificially inflating the size of the image file.

Q:    How can I achieve accurate color?

A:    Color management can be a difficult to accomplish without the proper equipment.  You will need a hardware monitor calibrator (such as a Spyder, Eye-One, or Monaco), and you will also need our icc profiles (available on our Professional Photographers site). 

Q:    How will my images be cropped?

A:    Photographs that are not sized to print will be cropped according to your instruction or to the best judgement of the technician.
