For this assignment, you are asked to print high-resolution (300 dpi) images. Here are some ways to ensure that your images are high-quality:
The SMFA Library's overhead scanner is capable of capturing high resolution images. Since the default print resolution is 200 dpi, you'll need to change the scan settings to "high quality" (300 dpi) or "very high quality" (400 dpi). Ask for assistance if you need it!
Alternatively, you can use a DSLR camera to take pictures from books or of art objects. Make sure you're using the appropriate megapixel setting (see chart below).
Google's Advanced Image Search lets you limit the size of your search results by megapixel or file size. Depending on how large your printed image will be, you'll want to make sure the size is large enough to ensure good quality when printing at 300 dpi. Consult this handy chart:
