Printing photos


I use Photoshop Elements 3.0. What format is the best to print photos. On my camera I shoot best quality. With my software, I was doing a save as with JPEG at med compression. What can I do to get better quality for printing. I use a Canon i960.

  Start over with your original file and change the JPEG compression to the lowest compression (largest file size) possible before doing a save as. Or you can even try using a file format that doesn't compress.

Hard drives are cheap. Use the larger files to edit and print your images. If you want a small file to email to someone, or to post on the web, save a separate file at 72dpi with some compression.
