To get the all-time printed images from Fine Art America, you need to accept care that your files are appropriate. That especially means proper file size. Here are some guidelines, forth with some tips, to get the best results.

File format and size

What size file should you lot upload to Fine Art America? The largest size your photographic camera creates is the easy answer simply let'due south take a expect at a few all-time practices. I recommend photographing in RAW and then processing and clean up your images of dust spots or other anomalies.

If you shoot with JPEGs straight out of camera, your file may initially await better than a RAW file capture. That'south because all of the information presented to the sensor is there. Adjustments need to be made to increase dissimilarity and enhance color.

With an in-camera JPEG you have already compressed the file and lost some pixels. If there were any exposure, color or corrective problems to exist fixed, when you save the file again your are compressing the epitome over again. Starting with RAW you accept more than file data with which to work without loosing quality.

Piece of work with the native resolution of your camera. Obviously, a larger sensor photographic camera will give you more pixels. Exercise not upsize in Photoshop or other programs to increase the file size. Fine art America merely takes JPEG files. TIFF, PNG, GIF or other files formats are not acceptable.

Don't worry nearly PPI or DPI in your settings. Look at the number of pixels that are in the file. Make certain that your camera was not gear up for a smaller file size. A 600×800 pixel file may wait fine on your calculator screen just it tin can not make a larger impress as the pixels will go likewise large the prototype will expect blurry. The saved jpeg file should be in the sRGB or Adobe 1998 color space and no larger than 25 MB. Salve the file at the highest quality setting available. If the output file size is over 25 MB you lot tin lower the quality setting from 12 to x if using Photoshop.
