Tutorial: HiRes vs LoRes Blog Header

I frequently make blog headers. I get bored easily. The other day I was making a new one for Birth Blessings and didn’t notice until a few days later (eek!) that the font looked odd. LOW Resolution, to be exact. Oh no, what happened? So I checked the settings and repeated what I did. Same outcome. I opened a new document in PSE 7 for the size of the header – 980 by 400 pixels. That’s it! That’s what makes it LoRes. It’s all in the pixels.BBblogheader bellyfeeteyler

Try #2. Open a new document and in the “preset” dropdown menu pick “Scrapbook”. It’s 3600 x 3600 pixels. Now that is HiRes! And of course you always choose 300 for your resolution. I cropped a rectangular piece and made my header again. Look at the difference in the font!

Yes, this is what I do when I should be sleeping. Someone has to.
