Q: What should the resolution of my pictures be?

A: As with graphics, there is no need to take high resolution photos with a mega-mega pixel digital camera. Most 640px X 480px digital cameras take great photos. Most ID photos end up being around an inch high and three- quarter of an inch wide, and at 640x480 you have already exceeded the resolutiion of the printer. With nearly any badge software, you can trim/crop, make minor color corrections, correct red-eye and rotate photos.
