Resizing Image

Hi... I've enlarged an image in Photoshop and changed dpi to 300. I've used "Preserve Details Enlargement" as well as "Preserve Proportions" by having the link on next to height/width.

 

The image looks great on the screen but very pixilated in "Image Size" preview...

 

I'm not sure if it will be fine for print on a t shirt? Why is it not good in preview box but great in Photoshop file?

 

Cheers so much....

Evaluate the image at 50% or 25% view rather than pixel peeping at 100% (1:1) or higher.

 

Take a look at the following topic, including the suggestions from Conrad in the following post:

@bt351s 

 

What pixel width/depth was the original image?

 

What pixel width/depth is the enlarged image?

 

What physical print size (CM or Inches) do you need at 300 PPI (pixels per inch, not DPI dots per inch).

 

Are you printing direct to garment (inkjet), inkjet sublimation or traditional silk screen printing? You may not require 300 PPI, it depends on image content and output.

Hi Stephen.... 1024 H x  841 W  72 dpi was the original

I've made it 5400 H x 4800 W 300 dpi

Yes for print on demand on a t shirt and it's DTG

(It's a public domain drawing that I'll add text etc to)

Thanks so much for getting back to me... I'm a baby with Photoshop and it's showing haha!

Oh "Ctrl Y" makes it 100%... It's as blurry as and pixilated 😞 It doesn't matter what videos I watch telling me how to resize images it doesn't work!
