Low resolution problem with shutterfly photo book?

Question

I am making a photo book on shutterfly.com but 6 or 7 of my pics come up with the little exclamation point saying that my resolution may be too low. I can't change them because the book is for a certain event and these are the only pics I have. Has anyone ever had the exclamation/triangle warning come up but used those pics anyway and gotten the book back? I need to know if it's going to come out too fuzzy because this is a gift and I want it to look nice. Thanks!!

Answer 1

Do not have the book printed with those warnings. Find other pictures. If you print the book with those warnings, the photos are going to come out pixelated, or fuzzy.

Answer 2

The warning is there for a reason. In all likelyhood the photos will be pixelated, ugly, and very amateurish looking. I suggest you not do it if you are unable to acquire the original high resolution photos.

Answer 3

Can you use smaller photo boxes in the layout so that the image will be better? Obviously, the larger you size the image, the worse it will look. The smaller you size the image, the better it will look.



I am going to agree that it is probably better not to use those pictures than to risk having them look horrible.



edit-Check out Clark Color Labs. They are less expensive than shutterfly all around. I just made my first order this week and am waiting to get my shipment.
