Output quality of a Photo Book in Photo Project Creator

[ablitz]

Hello to you Photo Project Creator users,
while trying to make a photo book I've noticed that the output quality of both JPEG files (only 96dpi) and PDF files are low. I would like to print the album on a high quality printer and need a better output file. I could not find how to change output settings. Is there some way to improve the output quality of my photo album ? TNX

Hello ablitz,

Unfortunately there is no other way to adjust the quality and it's set at (96 dpi)

Hello Abiel, I'm a bit disapointed as I don't see the point to produce a program which is OK, but lack a decent finishing capability.
If the purpose was to encourage people to sent projects to Online Orders, this service is not available for me. So it seems that the real purpose of this lacking is not technological but commercial and makes the program useless for me.
Thanks for your answer.

When you go to Output, then try to save it a PDF with high Quality and print out the PDF.

The print quality is better than a direct print

Thanks, I tried this of course but the PDF file in "E-mail onscreen" is exactly the same size as the "Print -High resolution". I even tried to print to a PDF virtual printer (PDF Redirect) and the quality was the same. My conclusion is therefore that the quality reduction of the pictures occured somwhere during the album making process.
The final result is a low quality graphic file.

Thanks Simone for the follow up.

PC has a different modus to count a size. It's always 96di, but the amount of pixels increases.
For example: image, 3000x2000px, 300dpi
If you save this image, you get a result of 9000x6000px and 96dpi.
The quality is definitely better when using PDF than direct print. However, I personally also wouldn't use PC to print out high quality images.
