  • Making a photo book? If you are making a photo book and plan to use the quick-build feature to have the photos automatically placed on pages for you, your photos should be arranged within your photo folder in the order you want them placed in the book. The first image will be used as the cover photo. If you plan to place each photo yourself, it’s up to you if you want to order them in advance for organized placement or pick and choose from your batch of photos as you go.
    
    If you never renamed your images after transferring them from your camera to your computer, they are probably still in the order in which you took them.
    
    If you want to rearrange the order, it is helpful to give each photo name a three-digit prefix and number the photos in your desired order beginning with 000 for your cover photo and 001 for the photo you want placed on the first page. For example, your cover photo might be 000MemorialDay.jpg and be followed by 001IndependenceDay.jpg and 002LaborDay.jpg. Be sure to use three-digit prefixes even if you are using less than 100 photos as order will not be retained when 10 photos or more are numbered with two-digit prefixes.
    
    
  • A megapixel is 1,000,000 pixels, or 1,000 pixels squared. Our digital photo presses require images at 300 dpi for best print quality, and our large-format printers require images at 150 dpi for best print quality. The table below approximately correlates megapixel output with the largest print size that can be achieved at optimum quality.
    
    

    Printer	Print Size	Megapixels
    Photo Press (300 dpi)	4 × 6"	2
    	5 × 7"	3
    	8 × 10"	7
    	11 × 14"	13
    	12 × 18"	19
    Large Format (150 dpi)	16 × 20"	7
    	20 × 30"	13
    	24 × 36"	19
    	30 × 40"	27

    
    These figures apply to uncropped images straight out of the camera. When you crop a photo, it loses resolution as part of the image is trimmed. Images acquired from cameras with capabilities of shooting less than 2 megapixels will most likely not be of sufficient resolution for satisfactory print quality.
