Check out my article on <a href="http://www.scrapsofmind.com/2007/03/10/scrapbooking-tips-techniques-upsizing-photos/" rel="nofollow">Upsizing Photos</a> to see how to resize your images. Alternatively you can open a new file in your photo editing software at the resolution you want and drag your photos into it. The software should resize them automatically.

But you posed a really interesting question. I notice that all my photos I download are at the 72dpi - and saw somewhere they were wanting submissions at 300dpi... Now, I have no idea as yet how to change all of those things so I'm sure I will learn in time. But that is very interesting that 200 would be as good as - if not better - than 300.

Good luck with your online class. I'm sure it will be fantastic. Hmmm Sharon, I think any time is a good time to prepare him for a new, bigger, faster printer. Good luck with your online class.

I'm about to start a digital scrapbooking online class so will be printing my very first digi layout real soon. Wonder if this means that I need to prepare my hubby for spending some $$$ on a bigger printer as i've only got an A4 sized inkjet printer at the moment?! Karen, this is a very timely article for me.

Yes it should always come down to individual preference and if there is a significant difference in commercial printing quality then that is a very strong argument for continuing to design in 300dpi. You can always downsize but <a href="http://www.scrapsofmind.com/2007/03/10/scrapbooking-tips-techniques-upsizing-photos/" rel="nofollow">upsizing </a>is not as easy. Thank you Olga.

Trying out the result at home and knowing other people experiences in commercially printed layouts does give you a lot of information to make a good choice. Mainly I guess the issue would be that if you want to print at home or don't want to enlarge elements 200dpi would do it, but if you are going to print your layouts at a shop or want to increase size, you will need 300dpi. So clearly designers if they want to be competitive and give choices to their customers are going to need to create at 300dpi. :) Thanks so much for the article, sharing the experience and all the people's comments. :) Best wishes. :O) Very interesting article and also very interesting comments.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I am definitely going to be considering this before printing anything up. Of course, since I've done exactly two layouts, I'm not too worried yet!
