What file size do I need?

One of the decisions to make is what size of image one needs for a project. As a general rule bigger is better, but… big files take space, slow down computers, and printing output. So we have posted four size levels based on typical industry uses:

SM- Small is sized for web designers and PowerPoint users who need to fill up to a quarter of the screen with an image, 300x400 dpi and a bit larger.

MD- Medium is sized for web designers and PowerPoint users who need to fill the full screen with a background image 600x800/900 dpi and a bit larger.

LG– Large is sized for beautiful 300dpi 5x7 inch images as prints, or in magazines, brochures and books. But the quality may suffer if resized to 8x10/12 inches.

XL– Xtra Large is sized for 300dpi 8x10/12 inch prints, or full-page in magazines or comparably-sized books. Because XL files have very little JEPG compression one can resize outputs to 11x14 inch and larger. And they still can look great! Even banners...

What is a Pixel?

In many ways a pixel is computer film grain. Just as in traditional 35mm film where grain varies in size, computer pixels are tiny squares that make up an image. Millions of them. At a distance we don’t see the “digital grain” but if we were to zoom in, eventually even the highest resolution images would be a map of coloured squares. And pixels, that's the stuff we deliver "quickly" to your computer.

File Sizes:

The origins of the image files, whether slide or digital camera, can result in different cropping formats. (Example: a slide is a 8x12" format while a digital photo is a 8x10" format) This will be evident when viewing the thumbnails. As a result, the file sizes you purchase will not be all the same.

Also, depending on the graphic content of an image file, the byte size of the files will vary. By nature, JPEG compression means it will create a small file when an image has large areas of similar colour, while a shot of a forest, for example will be busy and create a larger file.

All images from film scans and digital cameras are saved in JPEG format. This is the most efficient means of storing and transmitting image files to you. Though the compressed size of a JPEG can be a tenth of its opened size, we take great care in applying only a slight amount of compression when saving. All files are saved at a high a quality level in Photoshop. XL files have the least compression for the best quality.

It is recommended that after downloading a file, you work on it in a non-lossy format, such as TIFF or Photoshop.PSD if you plan to do a lot of re saving.

Although JPEG's have many great qualities, too much compression or re saving will degrade the image. (Opening and closing a file without saving is different, it has no compounding effect.)
