Digital Camera Files

For best quality prints, you should upload your files that are the maximus size available to you. While we can print larger than we recommend, the customer runs the risk of seeing lower than desired quality. For exampe, for an 8x10 we recommend at least a 2MP camera file, however we can do it using a 1 MP if the customer needs it. Many factors impact the quality of the print, the detail in the original file may impact the final output. An 8x10 of a portrait may look very good whereas an 8x10 of a 50 person group may not yeild the desired results (the granularity/detail is lost in the canvas) even if the original file is from the same camera.

Most digital camers allow you to change the resolution, so you can select the quality of your photos as you take them. We highly recommend that you use SHQ (Super High Quality) or Super Fine mode on your camera using JPEG settings (using minimum compression). Remember: No matter what size the file is, if the picture is blurry as a small print, it will be blurry enlarged on the canvas.
