![]() In today’s digital world, the most often used photos to share your paintings are Low Res (72dpi). When to use a Low Res Image of Your Artwork ☺ © Nancy Murty | Summer Meadow | 12×8 in | oil on linen | soldįirst, let’s quickly go over a few basics, like when it’s best to use Low and High Res images and the advantages for both. The only difference between the two is that pixels are used in digital applications and are square-shaped, while dots are used in offset printing. ![]() Oh, one quick note - I come from a print background, so by default, I refer to dots per inch (dpi) instead of pixels per inch (ppi). Instead, I’ll explain the fundamentals so that you will understand the foundation of image resolution and submit the best images of your art going forward. Helping you to understand High and Low-Resolution image settings is the focus of this post. ![]() But is it? Are you sure you sent in a true High Res or high-quality image of your artwork? So why does it look so bad?Īfter all, the image you sent was exactly what they asked for! And, so you conclude, it must be the printer or publication. Made sure to crop your image to include ONLY the painting no frame or other background. You made sure to send just what they asked for! Used the photo program on your computer, created an image file that met their specs - 300ppi (pixels per inch) and 1400–4000 pixels for the longest dimension. Have you ever seen your artwork in an exhibition catalog, magazine, or other print forms and been really disappointed in the quality and wondered what happened?
