[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Here are the pixel dimensions recommended by Blurb: 10 x 8 (landscape): 2884x2471 8 x 10 (portrait): 2462x3000 7 x 7: 2063x2067 13 x 11: 3788x3263 It is not "the more the better", since you don't want Blurb's software to resize your image. And you do not want to submit images that are less that these, since the last thing you want is to have Blurb's software upsize your images.
