A little help with resizing, please.
I want to resize my digital photos so that they will print out as photo-quality 4×6’s using Costco Photo Lab services. The photo’s are shot as 2288×1712 HQ Olympus Camedia C-4000 Zoom images. The originals will be left as is, but the resized jpg’s will be placed on cd’s for friends or used as source for hard copy 4×6’s at my local Costco lab.
I’ve been correcting the levels and colors, then saving as max quality jpg’s. What’s the proper way to resize these edited images?
I tried Resize:
Pixel Size:1024(w) x 768 (h)
Resolution: 300 ppi
and the document size ends up as a 3.4×2.5 (inches) image.
I chose 300 ppi so that it would have decent print quality and I chose 1024×768 so that the images would fit without adjustment onto the desktop as wallpaper or slideshow images.
If I increase the pixel size so that the document size ends up around 8×10 then the pixel size is huge!
What should I be doing?
Again, my goal is to have resized and edited jpg’s that will print as 4×6’s at photo quality using my local costco photo lab and that will also fit well onto my desktop.
Thank you
P.S., I’ll see what I can find with google as well.
