Problems with resolution of pics

This is my first shot at this and I am wary at best.  I uploaded 40 images and almost all of them have the yellow warning symbol telling me the res is too low.  However, the other images that don’t have the symbol were taken with the same camera and have all the same pixels, etc.  If I fix it the way it tells me to, the picture is so small that it’s not even worth it to pay for a book.  How can I fix this resolution problem but keep the pic as big as I can?  I’m seeing 640 × 480 as the pixels, if that matters.  Thanks for any advice you have!  Kapu

The best quality will come from photos at 300 ppi/dpi (pixels per inch) so for a 640 × 480pixel photo that means it should be printed no bigger than 2.1" x 1.6". (just divide the pixel size by 300 to get the  size of the best possible print)

But BookSmart is fairly forgiving and will accept photos at 150ppi at the lowest. So if you scale your photos using the slider until the warning sign appears then decrease the size slightly until it  just disappears they will be at 150ppi and you will get them to print at 4.2" x 3.2". But the quality will not be quite as good.

With your photos being the size they are you are not going to be able to print them any bigger and get a decent quality print. That size is really geared towards displaying them on a web page or a mobile phone rather than as large prints in a book.

Also, how do I delete photos off my photostream so I can add more?

Is there a way to force the photo into original size and 300dpi?

It auto scales the photos.
