taking pictures for web site

    I'm taking some pictures of wedding stationary for a web site and not too happy with the results. Basically its a folded card with "wedding Invitation" on the front and text on the inside. I have used a Nikon Digital camera as well as a Canon Digital SLR - too be honest there is not a lot of difference between the results from the two of them.

    My problem is when I modify to suit a web page - the "sharpness" is not as good and nor the text as readable. I'm using PhotoShop to modify.

    At the moment I open the JPEG file, resize down to 72dpi and change to approx 350 pixels (approx 3.5 to 4 inches square). The card is white so I may use the Levels command to improve the whiteness. I also use Filter->Sharpen->Unsharp Mask to improve it.

    I have seen pictures on the web for a similar product and they are excellent.

    Does any one have suggestions or advice on what I can do to improve the results ?

    Just resize the whole image down using the 'bicubic shaper' option if you have photoshop cs. Heres a link on how to do it,

    Post a sample here, so we can help suggest things to impove it.
    The obvious thing would be to get better lighting.

    note: dpi means NOTHING when you are dealing with digital images on screen only, dpi means dots per inch, you can't measure inches on computer screens because everyone has different sized monitors with different resolutions

    use pixel width only for images on your PC
