Question QUESTION: Dear Candice,
A problem I cannot find a solution to. I've reduced some JPEG images with Photoshop, I've decreased the pixels by going to Image/Size, but after printing them they all look "pixelated", losing a lot of quality, and looking quite blurry. I could understand if I had made them bigger, but not smaller. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate your prompt help, as I'm in a hurry. Thanks in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Marcelo
ANSWER: check your dpi. If it's is below 300, it's not print quality. You can check this by going to back to image, image size, and look at the resolution.

QUESTION: Dear Candice,
Thanks so much for your help, it really improved the quality drastically! One more little question though. Say, the original JPEGs are 72 DPIs, if I put 300 instead, would it be too much? Or else what would you recommend?
Thanks again, I'm ready to rate your great help.
Later,
Marcelo
Answer it's always best to put images in at least 300 dpi, but you can't just change the image size when you go up.
start a new document, make it 300 dpi, cmyk
move your picture over to the new document.
as you can see your picture shrank, it is now set for 300 dpi :)
