In this session we will look at properties of digital images and how they impact the quality of prints and the large possible size printable from the image file.

We will try to understand digital dimensions: What is really the difference between Pixels Per Inch (PPI) and Dots Per Inch (DPI) and why you should care.  How to control pixel density when print to get consistent results.

What is the ideal scanning resolution for copying old photos to make good prints. We will show you how to calculate the proper scanning resolution. 

Lightroom is a very versatile program for printing both individual prints and in batch mode.  We will discuss best practice for setting up a print job to get the best results.

We will look at the various options for printing from Lightroom and how to control the outcome.
