How can you tell photo quality is good for large photo books

I want to make a large photo book (13 X 10) and I have a good quality camera, but how do I tell the photos are good enough to blow up to that size.

With a bit of arithmetic. Check the pixel size of your photos.

To print a good quality book you will need at least 200 pixels per inch to get the necessary dpi in the printout.

So your photos should have a pixel size of at least 13 x 200 by 10 x 200 = 2600 x 2000 pixels.


Check the Info panel for the pixel sizes of your selected photos.
