TIPS
Test It!
Make two copies of an image. Enlarge the first using
Bicubic Smoother and the second using Bicubic
Sharper. Crop the same 4-×-6-inch section on both
enlargements and paste these into two new
documents. Because resampling may reduce detail
and sharpness, you can apply the Smart Sharpen filter
with the same settings to each new document and
print them for comparison.
Did You Know?
A resolution of 150 to 360 ppi is generally
recommended for inkjet printing. Images for on-screen
viewing need only a resolution of 72 ppi. Images
intended for a printing press require a resolution of
twice the line screen of the press, referring to the
number of lines of dots that appear per linear inch (lpi)
on the printed piece. If the line screen is 133 lpi, the
resolution should be 266 ppi. Rounding up to 300 ppi
is generally recommended.
