Re: Creating 20 x 30 Collage on online photo service

One more newbie question.

I'm planning to use 15 photos in the 20 x 30" collage. Should I resize each individual photo that I scan? As you suggested, I'll be scanning at the maximum resolution which is 2400 dpi.

You need to set the resolution to the highest level when scanning photos, also I would recommend creating the collage in exact size you are planning to send it to online printing company. You can use any photo editing software to do that. It is important to have the correct dimensions of the collage file before you send it out so all the details will be printed correctly. You also will be able to see if the quality of the photo is good enough for the size you're trying to order.

The problem I'm having is a portion of the subjects heads are being cropped.

I'm using scanned photos from an HP PSC 1210 all-in-one.

I would appreciate some tips as to scanning resolution and preparing photo sizes and resolution for uploading to the photo service.

I have PE5.
