Hi. I'm working on our school's yearbook through walsworthyearbooks' online design. I saved an image from facebook that we need, but it turns out incredibly small and pixelated. Walsworth staff can't help me.
I put the image in photoshop, and it looks to be a normal size, and is not pixelated. the image I'm trying to put in right now is 400X474 pixels and has a resolution of 150. I've tried PNG and JPEG.
What can I do? I even tried taking a screenshot of the image on facebook so that it wouldn't be saved directly from facebook. The image fits the entire screen, so I don't know why it would turn out so small and messy when put into an online designer.

hi,
little surprise that walsworth couldn't give you some help on this...
first keep in mind that if you enlarge a picture too much or shrink a picture too much the quality degrades a lot and you can pixlation among other issues with the image.........
now you didn't givemen all the details like what is going to be the printed size of the pricture... ie; 2x2" or 3x2" ??
now what maybe happening , that there resizing the image much smaller than what you have for example if they end up resizint that 400x475 to about 70% orginal size.... it may start to become pixalize....
wha can you do...instead of letting them resize small is for you to resize it saller to fit thier requirements then upload to them that your not relying on thiere filters to do it....
soooo maybe go in photoshop and resize it your self..... now in photoshop ... you have a couple of filters on resizing the image smaller... you have some bicubic setting there try the bicubic sharpter... setting and of course put in your pixal size you want....
