What is resolution for uploading photos to Walgreens?

Hi!

Walgreens will take whatever uploads you send and will resize accordingly. I use walgreens a lot and I don't bother to resize my pics.

However, if you do have super-high-res JPG's and you want to save upload time, you should account for 300dpi and export your photos accordingly.

For example, if you only want 4x6's you want to export your selected photos to a folder, and choose a limit of 1800 pixels (6 x 300 = 1800) or if you want 8 x 10 you can go for (10 x 300 = 3000 pixels)

Resizing locally will save you upload time since DSL/Cable upload much slower than they download. And don't worry, 300dpi here isn't the same as on inkjets. The pictures are still way clearer and more robust (conventional photo paper) than, say, "1200 dpi" types of printers.

How it works is up to Walgreens - you will either need to ask them or test it

I assume (and bet it is right) that they upload what every you give them so I assume that you are uploading full resolution files - do one and test it - you can pretty well tell from the time it takes. If their site is any good when you set up an order for a print they will tell you if the resolution is not hight enough to make a good print

This is essentially what Dave E told you on October 28, 2007

Run a test - the absolute worst that can happen is that you waste the cost of one print - and I seriously doubt that that will happen
