The optimal file size for your particular usage will depend on several factors including the size of your use and whether you are intending to crop the image. Here is some guidance:
Low Resolution
1.6 MB
Image Size: 9" x 12" at 72 dpi / RGB
This size is intended for three primary uses:
- Web sites: general use as well as Flash movies, etc.
- Multimedia, such as PowerPoint presentations.
Medium Resolution
6.9 MB
Image Size: 4.5" x 6" at 300 dpi / RGB
Ideal for print usage of up to 4.5" x 6". If, for example, you are using the image on the inside of a brochure, relatively small, this is the perfect size (unless you are cropping and only using a portion of the image).
High Resolution
27.8 MB
Image Size: 9" x 12" at 300 dpi / RGB
EXTREME RESOLUTION, print usage is suitable for full spread print reproduction where the image will be used LARGER than 4.5" x 6" (or if you are cropping the image). Similar to the 6.9 MB, these larger file sizes can be used relatively smaller-- in order to achieve maximum density and detail in the image.
Large Format Image
214 MB
Image Size: 25" x 33.2" at 300 dpi / RGB
How large can you go with these file sizes? Certainly up to 25" x 33.2". Larger than that will depend on several factors, including:
1.Cropping
Far and away the largest source of file-size confusion. Remember: If you are only using a portion of the image, you must calculate the size you are using based upon the size of the original image, not just the portion you are using.
2.Enlargement
Our larger image files have been used for everything up to and including billboards. However, the amount you can enlarge the image will be determined by a variety of factors, some of which are very subjective.
