Know your digital camera

The resolution of your digital camera affects the quality of your photos. That is, the higher the megapixels setting, the better quality photos that can be produced. See example below:
Low Res
Med Res
High Res

The megapixel setting also determines the size at which the image can be printed.

For example:

4 x 6      1152 x 864   (1 megapixel)
5 x 7      1600 x 1200 (2 megapixels)
8 x 10    2000 x 1500 (3 megapixels)
Keep in mind however, the higher the resolution setting the larger the file and the more memory space needed on the digital camera's memory card.
Digital print sizes

For many digital cameras the standard image ratio is 6 in x 4.5 in. The standard image ratio for 35mm cameras is 6 in x 4 in.  See example below.
These digital images can be printed as 6 x 4.5 or as 6 x 4. If you do not wish to lose any of your image, the whole image can be fitted into a 6 x 4 canvas which means that your images will have a border on 2 sides. See example below.
6 x 4.5
6 x 4
6 x 4 "fit in"
Digital format of images for printing via the Fuji Frontier

For those who prefer to edit images using an image software package before having them printed, the Fuji Frontier accepts files in RGB mode and at 300dpi for all print sizes. A resolution above 300dpi is not necessary and the extra information makes no difference to the quality of the print.
