Isn't there any way that we can test our own photos for sale on DPCPrints for a given size or etc.?

Can't Admin tell us what to look for?
How does admin test them?
Can't admin post enlarged examples of what they are looking for?

If a member is trying to create a 16" x 24" photo can't he test it himself rather than going through all the trouble of uploading it and waiting for approval and then be told it is only good for 10" x 15" ?

I have gotten pretty good at it but once in awhile it is questionable and it is very time consuming to upload, wait and then possiblly have to redo.

There has to be a better way than this.

I am assuming that you are talking about not meeting the minimum resolution requirements. The way I understand it is that if your image is over 150dpi at a given size, you should be approved unless your image is otherwise flawed.

Take a look at this tutorial: Creating Printable Images it should help.

If you aren't being rejected for resolution, I'd be interested in hearing about it as well.

No not just that.

I have a photo that is 16x24 225 dpi after cropping and running the FM SI automation, 180 dpi out of the camera, if it does not pass for 16x24 why not?

I have 2 others just like it and they passed for 16x24 and one for 20x30? What did they judge this on. Can't they tell us or show us so we do not have to upload and wait.

What do we need to look for?

With no communication with who is approving the photos how is one suppose to know and learn how to fix the problem?
Seems kinda useless does it not?

I have read that tutorial.

Noise levels are different depending on the different conditions that you took the shot in. If the noise is high, the resampled version will multiply the noise and make it worse. Also, try not to make the dpi higher than it needs to be. 225dpi sounds a bit high, and excessing resampling degrades quality.
