Viewing distance and image resolution
All images should be saved full size, and must have the appropriate
resolution for viewing distance, to avoid a pixilated appearance.
As a general rule use these guidelines for saving
files.

Copying an image from a web page typically will not be acceptable
for an enlarged print, as these images have been shrunk for viewing
on a monitor, and will be very pixilated.
