Default need some help with a photo issue

I am trying to make the girls birthday invitations at walmart (i WANTED really nice ones to order from someone but obviously with no money that cant happen )

I have a really nice picutre (below) that I want to use, but ti keeps telling me its low resolution.

I have tried changing the size on photobucket and re-saving it. Any ideas how to fix it??


here is the picture, feel free to play around with it so it will work!

Hmm, I checked out the info for the photo and it's 640x427. According to the Walgreens photo site, that's fine for a 4x6 print or card, but not for a 5x7. It actually let me put it into a card and would have let me order it. By the way, they have a promotion (that ends today!) where if you spend $20 at the online Walgreens photo center using Paypal you get $10 back from Paypal.

If you don't find anything that works out, I love making creative stuff - so I'd be happy to make some prints of your picture and hand make some cards with the pictures if you wanted. Just let me know if you want to do that and how many and what to put on them. I have more coupons for free 4x6 prints than I ever get printed, so don't worry about that.

I use walmart.com all the time. Do you have the original saved on your computer? Try downloading the original to walmart.com You can alway edit the pictures using the website. I have printed pictures even though it says low resolution and they have turned out fine. When I make announcements/invites I first print just one and see how it turned out. It saves all previous orders so you then can just print more as needed.

For printing purposes your collage needs to be saved with 300.000 dpi I checked yours and it's 72.000.

To make your DPI bigger, you need to go into your photo editing software - what kind do you use??
