Question
Dear Sir,

  I am a beginner in adobe photoshop and i'm using it in designing of flyers and business cards.
  My boss asked me to design an ads in tarpaulin. The size is 2.6m X 7m. So, i set the background in 260cm x 700cm and i do my design but in the tarpaulin, the pictures of bags and company's logo is blurred. What will I do to have clear and good image in tarpaulin and billboard next time.
   hoping for your help and thank you very much.


Sincerely yours,
Beverly


Answer
the next time you work, make sure that your resolution is set at least 300 dpi.

dpi - dots per inch
resolution: the amount of dots in your image. The more dots, the better you image quality will be/the bigger you image can be.

You can look at your image quality by opening your file and going to image, image size. if it's under 300 resolution, then the file is not good for what you need.

Always request images in at least 300 dpi. and NEVER make your images bigger than they already are as they will be blurry.
