Photoshop Picture package and text

[metroshane]

Hey all,

Photoshop Elements came with my 10D. One of the print options is a picture package set that will format your pic into contact type sheets of multiples. however, when I do it, it seems to pixelize the images a bit. The 8x 10 prints are much clearer than the 2X3's. And also I can never get Text to print without being pixely.

Ok, i figured out the package problem. It defaults the res to 72 dpi. I just changed it and it's fine now. What about text? Text is still pixely.

Is anti-aliasing enabled for the text?

I was having a problem like that and realized the dpi was too low. should be at 267 for print (i go with 300)

[metroshane]

I'll see if I can change that.

Bingo, thanks

300 is a industry standard as far as minimum dpi.

300 is a industry standard as far as minimum dpi.
For printing. Actually the minimum is 267 as printers do not go any higher for the most part. For web work, the standard is 72 dpi.

@metroshane: was it the dpi or anti-aliasing?

[metroshane]

It was defaulting to 72 dpi
