- Remove any dust, blemishes, sensor dust, and anything else that should not be in your final print.
- Adjust density, contrast, color balance, saturation, etc.
- Ensure your file(s) are sharp and in focus.
Next, export your file in jpeg or tiff format. For best results with jpegs, save with maximum quality (12) setting.
- Image Sizing: Uncheck “Resize to Fit”.
- Output Sharpening: Uncheck
Next, upload your images. You can upload jpegs or tiff files, up to 100mb in size.
