Help needed

Greetings,

It's Friday and I'm stuck attempting to get some posters for our event [printed here](http://print24.com/uk/?pg=freedesign) using the confusing online tool. Are there any graphic designers here who can help me understand why for some of images the DPI is insufficient, and how should I change that? Many thanks for any explanation.

Well I'm not an expert in printing and never used that tool, so maybe someone here can correct me, but usually you need 300 dpi. You can adjust that in Photoshop going to: image > image size. Then just put the resolution you want. Actally if you have a low resolution image you won't gain any detail, it will stretch the image. Hope this helps.

Hey abey,

Thank you for the explanation! Yeah, the images I've used were from my email, adjusted to fit the screen and not the needed resolution (I found that precisely doing what you've advised). I'm getting now the originals from the memory card, and it should work out.

Enjoy the weekend and thank you again!
