Trying to print not as easy as it sounds.
Here the thing. I got a photo frame, preatty nice one in the shape of a heart but it has the size in centimeters of 7cm with 5cm. So it's gonna have to be a preatty small image.
This is my problem. My picture is 28.8 mb!!! I tryed to use Photoshop to resize
width:7 cm height:5 cm ticked "scale styles" + "constrain proportions" + resample image" with the setting "bicubic sharper(best for reduction). When I print my image looks very bad
Tryed the bicubic and the bicubic smoother the same result. The picture looks very bad. I fi try a bigger resolution the image looks impeccable. So the problem must be with resizing it. Photoshop tells me that my print resolution is 72 PPI
Color Handling: Printer manages color. Tryed with Photoshop manages colors.
"black point compensation" ticked same thing....
I am using glossy photo paper.
How can I print this image small and make it look good?? |

Welcome to the forum.
You don't say what format the original image is in. But if it is RAW you should process it as a 300ppi file, no less than 240ppi I would hazard.
