[QUOTE="algmiyazaki, post: 488516, member: 14248"] Hello, I'm about to have a couple of photos printed from an online service (Nations Photo to be precise, as I've heard relatively good things about their quality compared to similarly priced sites). I don't really know a whole lot about resizing for printing. This is the first time I've ever attempted to print my pictures even though I've been photographing for years. I have an image that I'm going to print in 11x14'. I cropped it to the appropriate ratio and it's 240 DPI but what I'm confused about is, should I resize the image down to the exact document size of 11x14 or leave it where it is? (Currently at 4134 x 3248 which is 13.533 x 17.225 according to Photoshop). I'm just not really sure how print quality works (or printing at all, really). Is it best to print an image larger than its intended document size or resized to be exactly the doc size? Sorry if any of this sounds idiotic. :) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
