If you have the original hardcopy image but are not able to rescan it yourself, you might be able to find scanning services at your local office supply store. But other times, you will notice the quality of your image degrade so badly that the only remaining option will be to rescan the original photograph or artwork if you have it. Sometimes, like in this example, the trade off is acceptable. When you resample an image this way, it might look blurry or pixilated. And while it might get your image to meet the technical requirements of our printer, it is not always a perfect solution. Now, when we change the resolution to 300 PPI, the width and height remain the same. If you have the option, choose a bicubic setting that helps smooth out image enlargement. Before changing the resolution, be sure ‘Resample Image’ is selected. There is one other solution when using Photoshop or other image manipulation software. It is now only 3 ¼ inches wide, no longer big enough to fit the width of the final page. For example, if we change the resolution of this image to the required 300 PPI, you’ll see that the image gets smaller.
But when doing this, you need to be careful that changing one aspect of the image doesn’t negatively affect another aspect. However, in Adobe Photoshop and some other programs, you are able to change the size or resolution of an image. Unfortunately, the resolution of the image is only 150 pixels per inch, only half the resolution of what is required for publication. In the window that pops up, we see that the image is 6 ½ inches wide which is enough to span the width of the page. In Adobe Photoshop, you can check the size and resolution by going to ‘Image’ and ‘Image Size’. Let’s also say we want this image to fit the width of the page which would be 6 inches. Let’s say we are interested in placing this image on a page inside a 6-by-9 book. To demonstrate how size and resolution work together, I have a few examples I’d like to show you. If they’re for the cover, they should be slightly bigger than the cover itself, adding at least an 1/8 th of an inch to the cover’s top, bottom, and outside edge. In addition, images for your interior need to be roughly 4 by 6 inches or larger. If you are submitting images for your book’s cover or interior, they need to have a resolution of no less than 300 PPI, or pixels per inch. Quick Review: Image Size & Resolution Requirementsįirst, let’s briefly review the requirements and then we’ll go into Photoshop to check for them. If all else fails, you can always send the image to us and we can check it for you. If you can't find the size and resolution in one program, try another. There are many different programs you can use to view your images, and most of them will allow you to access the image’s properties or attributes from the menu bar. In this video, I’ll show you how to check the size and resolution of your images using Adobe Photoshop.
