Changing a file resolution
Although we DO NOT recommend this and would rather have you start over (scan, draw or import), in some rare cases, the resolution of an image can be changed. In such a case, the image must be larger than the intended output. For instance, if you would like the final image to be 1 inch wide and you start with an image that is 4 inches wide, you will be able to reduce the file size (and thus increase the resolution) without affecting its quality. To change a file's resolution, open it with one of the software below and follow the instructions given for that software.
| Software | Files Supported | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Adobe Photoshop | Will open .gif, .jpeg, .tiff, .bmp, .png, .psd, .pdf | Click Image > Image Size > Verify that image size is larger than desired output > Make sure "Constrain Proportions" is checked > Change resolution to 300 pixels/inch |
