I'm new to the board, and fairly new to Photoshop, what I do know is self taught. I've come here to seek the advice of some seasoned veterans!! I'm having a problem with making small graphics for a business card I'm trying to design. The problem is that the graphics look great at a larger size, but when I start working on it at the size needed for a business card, 2x3.5 inches, the graphics are highly pixelated and really look crappy. I was just wondering if you guys had any tips for working with small graphics and making them look crisper.
Well, this seems like a great board, so hopefully I'll be able to learn from everyone here and who knows, maybe I'll have some advice to offer out.
Lily, thanks for the warm welcome. After messing around with it this weekend, I discovered something that you all probably have known forever. I had the image set at 72dpi which is great for web graphics, but apparently for print, not so good. I bumped it up to 1200 and the prints are coming out amazing now. I got clued in from one of the topics you posted, so thanks!!
When you say your office printer is capable of printing at 1200 dpi, it doesn't mean that your file is any better at a 1 to 1 correlation. Try creating a file at a resolution of 300 and you will see no difference in your current 1200 file as opposed to the smaller file. 300 is plenty for almost any printing.
