To go the best printed images from Fine Art America, you need to take intendance that your files are appropriate. That especially ways proper file size. Here are some guidelines, along with some tips, to get the best results.

File format and size

What size file should you upload to Fine Art America? The largest size your camera creates is the easy reply but let'southward accept a look at a few best practices. I recommend photographing in RAW and so processing and clean upward your images of dust spots or other anomalies.

If you shoot with JPEGs straight out of photographic camera, your file may initially look meliorate than a RAW file capture. That'south because all of the information presented to the sensor is at that place. Adjustments need to be made to increase contrast and enhance colour.

With an in-camera JPEG you accept already compressed the file and lost some pixels. If in that location were any exposure, color or corrective bug to be fixed, when you save the file again your are compressing the image once more. Starting with RAW yous take more than file data with which to work without loosing quality.

Work with the native resolution of your camera. Patently, a larger sensor camera will give you more pixels. Do not upsize in Photoshop or other programs to increase the file size. Fine Art America only takes JPEG files. TIFF, PNG, GIF or other files formats are not acceptable.

Don't worry most PPI or DPI in your settings. Expect at the number of pixels that are in the file. Make sure that your photographic camera was not set for a smaller file size. A 600×800 pixel file may look fine on your reckoner screen but it can not make a larger impress equally the pixels will become besides large the image will look blurry. The saved jpeg file should be in the sRGB or Adobe 1998 color space and no larger than 25 MB. Save the file at the highest quality setting available. If the output file size is over 25 MB you can lower the quality setting from 12 to x if using Photoshop.
