Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reproduce an image from my digital camera?
Yes. Many digital cameras capture images with a pixel dimension of 2000 pixels x 1500 pixels and up to (3 Megapixel to 14 Megapixel cameras.) That being said know however that in digital reproduction more is better there are limits as to how large you can print from one megapixel size to the next. Optimably the size range would be about an 8 x 10 for a 3 Megapixel 16" x 20" for 4, 20" x 30" for 5, 24" x 36" for 6 so on and so forth.
In real life however you can easly not follow this scheme although image quality does dictate what is acceptable and not, and it is a personal choice.
Are my 35 mm slides suitable for reproduction?
