Many professional photographers use high resolution images.
Generally, the resolution that photographs are created with will look fine when sending photos through the computer to family and friends, but when printing larger photos, a higher resolution is needed. A higher resolution is used mostly by professional and high level photographers, but even amateur photographers can learn change the resolution by using either the camera, a scanner, or computer photo editing software.
Instructions
1. Locate the manual for your digital camera. You will be able to change the camera's image quality to the highest setting. This will take up more camera memory, but this guarantees that you will be able to take the highest quality images possible.
2. Open the scanner software you are using. There will be a Resolution or Quality setting. If you are scanning a black and white image, change this setting to High or 1,200 dpi, or dots per inch. If there is a color setting, set it either to black and white or 1 bitmap. For color images, set the colors to as many as possible, and change the resolution to somewhere around 300 dpi.
3. Use a computer photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, and open your photo. In the Image dialog box, set the Resolution to 300 ppi, or pixels per inch.
4. Go to your printer, and change the settings to achieve the highest quality image. There will be an Options or Advanced Settings menu within the printer's settings. Change the print quality to either Best or 600 or 1,200 dpi, whichever your printer allows.
