Hi there,
I had a question about printing quality and DPI. I am making a photobook and wanted to have backgrounds to give it a scrapbook feel. I pulled some backgrounds but when I put them into the program that I'm creating the photobook in it says the image quality is too low.
The company recommends images of 300 DPI. The backgrounds I have selected are 1280x1007 with apparently a horizontal and vertical dpi of 300 yet it still says the image quality is low. The backgrounds I'm using are generally solid colours with a bit of texture (so no real hard lines) with the odd soft pattern such as the following:
Picaboo Free Backgrounds - View Entry
Picaboo Free Backgrounds - View Entry
Thoughts about quality when it's printed? Will the background images show lots of pixels or do you think it should it be alright since they are softer and not as sharp as an actual photograph?
I've tried learning about DPI etc. but can't seem to wrap my head around it.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
