Improve the quality of printed iPhoto books
Authored by: pub3abn on Jul 20, '05 11:16:49AM

For the curious, I will explain my statement: "For full-page (8.5 x 11) pictures in a coffee-table book, you really need an 8-10 megapixel camera."

The math is this:

8.5 (inches) x 300 (dpi/ppi) = 2550 (pixels).
11 (inches) x 300 (dpi/ppi) = 3300 (pixels).

2550 x 3300 = 8,415,000 pixels, or just over 8 megapixels.

Of course, if you crop the image at all, you need even more pixels.
