Ack...totally frustrated here! I'm trying to use the new 5x7 cards but it keeps telling me that some of the pictures are too small. I don't really understand this - I can purchase a print of the same photos up to 36x36 but they're too small for a 5x7?! Anyone know what I need to know?:scratch

Thanks!

    We may tweak the resolutions but please, remember, we print our cards at 300dpi and so the photos must be at that resolution - the other resolution chart is just a MINIMUM and should only be considered as such. ALWAYS print with the max # of pixels :D If you have a photo that is minimum 2000px by 2000px you'll be able to make all of our cards deal.gif

    What if the image is a full size image and was uploaded at 72 DPI ?
