Question for those who have used Shutterfly....

Danielle R., on May 16, 2010 at 10:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

I am making a photo book for my parent's present. However, the photo that I'm wanting to use for the cover picture says that the resolution is too low. This is probably because the picture is a scan of the original. Has anyone had any experience with low-resolution pictures? Did anyone go ahead and order it even with low resolution? Did it come out okay?

    Definitely go with a different picture. If their site is saying it's too low-res, they mean it. They'll not label some things as too low when they really should be just because they're still "ok" but may not look the best. Also, depending on the size of the book, if you went for a smaller book, it might be okay..

    I would say go with another picture. You do not want this picture for the cover. If you really want to use it, us it inside and make the picture smaller...This way it will come out better!

    Good luck!! LOVE Shutterfly and have done many, many books as gifts on this!!

    I've actually ordered it before with that warning. It was for a calendar. It was very grainy and pixely pixelish whatever the word is. I don't regret it because I and the recipient absolutely loved that picture. Just note that they do mean it when they give that warning. :-)

    Well, the picture that I'm wanting to use for the front cover is actually a picture that I grabbed off the internet of the feet of a father and daughter while dancing. The scanned picture I was able to stick elsewhere. Does anyone know where I can get a high resolution version of this type of picture?
