Image Size for Photoshop

[goofie828]

Hi,

I'm using photoshop to create my pages. For the image size, I noticed that it's at 3390 pixels x 2550 pixels with doc size of 11.3in x 8.5in, 300dpi. For classic book, will I have a problem with printing? All the photos are within the blue line but I read somewhere else that the pixels should be a lot less than what I currently have. I'm hoping it won't be a big problem?

Thanks.

As long as your file size is above 1 mb and below 7 mb you should be ok for most pictures. I found that file size is more important than the resolution when using Photoshop. I process at 350 dpi and worry little about the inches. Play around with Photoshop and see what happens. I found a full bleed Deluxe picture printed just fine when it was 4.49 mb at 2500 x 1662 resolution. If my picture is more than 7 mb, I reduce the pixels. My camera takes 3850 x 2896. If I have to reduce the pixels, I pick 3008 x 2000 or something like that. I drag a picture I have been experimenting with into MyPublisher and it looks fine. Here is a link to my North To Alaska Deluxe book.
