Why do my pictures print out pixelated?
I'm trying to print photos out on Kodak Premium Photo Paper. My pictures have no pixelation when they're on the computer since I use a good camera & I don't mess with them a whole lot of photoshop. But once I print them out, they look pixelated. Why is this happening, & is there someway to fix it? I can't keep wasting expensive paper on tests.
Your computer "sees" 72 DPI no matter how much higher resolution the image is set to. Printing requires that you have the resolution set to 300 DPI, if not the images will be pixelated, especially if you are NOT in the habit of shooting with your camera ALWAYS set at its highest resolution.
