Resolution Requirements
| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| All figures | 300 DPI | At maximum print size |
| Optimal quality | 450 DPI+ | Recommended for best online display |
| Online submission | 300 PPI max | To keep file sizes manageable |
CRITICAL: Do NOT artificially increase resolution (upsampling) in image editing software. This does not improve quality and may introduce artifacts.
