Elliot Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I'm trying to print some pictures from a website (nothing seedy!) and am having no joy! I've tried everything I can think of... 1) Save picture as, then print - it comes out really bad quality 2) Print straight from the site - it comes out really small rather than A4 size 3) Change size to A4 - It spreads over 3 pages Can anyone help?!

GeordieSteve Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 If you increase the size of an image by much it'll become distorted. Your increasing the size of the pixels rather than the amount of pixels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 One of the pages I printed came out just under A4 size and the quality is excellent, but the others are coming out as A5 which is too small. When I save the picture and print it out A4 size the quality is no good. I thought that transferring it from the website to my PC reduced the quality and maybe there was a way of printing A4 straight from the site.

GeordieSteve Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yep the A4 pic will be good quality because your not blowing it up any. The smaller pics are being expanded which is why they're loosing their quality. Sods law unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 On the web page they all look the same size. I'll go back and check the properties... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hmmm, both are 448 x 616 pixels The bytes are : 58920 A4 (when printed) 43081 A5 (when printed) So not too much difference really, but the difference in qulaity is a hell of a lot.
