Why images from the web don't work . . .

Images created to load quickly on the web do not have enough information in them for a print project.

The image to the left represents a cover that measures 6" x 9". When you download an image from the web it has been re-sized to load quickly in your browser which means a lot of the information (or dots) have been removed. The photo of the toast looked quite large in my browser but, as you can see, on this cover it becomes too small to have much impact.

There are many site that offer images for sale, many at very reasonable rates. Some require an acknowledgement. Be sure you read the permission section and copy and save that information with each image.

If you have any question just send an email!
