[QUOTE="aroy, post: 666647, member: 16090"] If the images are low res to begin with, taking screen shots will not help, especially if they are less than HD resolution - 1.9K x 1K. Just check the size of submitted images. If they are even 2MP, you will get reasonable prints at 200 DPI. 5x7 at 300 DPI is 1500 x 2100 about 3MP, so any thing larger will not be useful at these print sizes. One work around, will be to collect the original prints, and use your DSLR to take RAW images of the prints. You will get much better resolution that way. I have used my D3300 to convert hundreds of my older 3x5 prints to 24MP RAW images and then processed them to get beautiful prints. If you install DigicamControl, you can shoot tethered, so that you will be able to fine tune each image's focus and lighting (glare and shadows included). [/QUOTE]
