Improve the quality of printed iPhoto books
Authored by: MAC-Gyver on Jul 22, '05 01:31:58PM

I just got my iPhoto book in the mail after trying this fix! The book looks excellent!! The majority of the pictures were 72-150dpi originally from a 2mpx camera. But with the fix everything was bumped up to 300dpi and this thing looks very good.

Not everyone might have the same results, but its worth a try. This is one happy customer!

Improve the quality of printed iPhoto books

Hmm - are you saying that iPhoto scales the (too small) images UP in size if you change the parameter from eg. 150 to 300?

I would expect the RIP to scale the images as opposed to "waisting" time and bandwidth by inserting "redundant" pixels.
(Based upon my tests in the prepress business in the mid 90'ies - and things can only get better right?)

What is really needed is a test with the same images printed with the 150 as well as 300 setting, and then with all the booksizes ;-)
