Will 1024x683 print ok at 6x4

[D-pearce92]

Evening all i want to get some pictures printed at 6s4 but all my images i want to use have been resized to 1024x683, i dont fancy editing all these pictures again so will i be able to get a decent quality 6x4 print at 1024x683.

Sorry if this has been posted, i searched but couldnt find anything

In a word probably not. 6 x 4 at 200 ppi = 1200x 800 so the quality will suffet. Why mot create an action to resize forprint.

Thanks, I very rarely print my photos, so have only created an action to resize to 1024 to be able to upload my photos on here.

This gives a print resolution of 170ppi

Yes it's a little low but the print will be perfectly acceptable to all but the most critical of eyes. I have printed some at lower resolution (150ppi) and to be honest they were actually fine!

Regards editing, what software are you using?

They'll be fine, we are only taking small photos here and a quick look at online printers Snapmad

6 x 4
OK 900 x 600
Optimum 1800 x 1200

Umm, print a couple and look at them? At that size it ain't going to break the bank, and doing test shots is always a good idea. How they look will depend quite a bit on the quality and subject in the original file, and how the pp has been done (don't overcook the sharpening, for a start).

So why not go back to the original for your prints, rather than the images you have resized for uploading?

Easiest way is go to File>Script>Image Processor

In here you can batch a whole folder of images for resizing to whatever size you want.
if you have the originals I'd be inclined to resize them to 1800x1200 for print. If you have just a few specific images, just put them in a folder and then run the script for that folder. Output to same folder will create a new folder called jpeg (I think) and the edits can be sent from there.
