I'm familiar with working images to fit Web and print media; the resolution needs conflict. To accomplish what you want, you'll need a higher-resolution image; 7700 pixels just won't do for print. Let's do some pixel math: To fit a 8.5x11 inch page, you'd want the image to come out something like 7x9 inches. That works out to about one pixel per inch, in print terms 1 dpi; even at 3.5x4.5, it's only 2 dpi. Unless you keep the image to ~0.4"x0.5", the image will disappear behind the text and its "roseness" will be lost. "Standard" print quality is 300 dpi; "low" is ~200 dpi. You'll need at least a 700x900 image, minimum. In gray-scale, that's 0.5 MB; in 24-bit color, it's 1.5 MB; 32-bit color = 2 MB. My recommendation: Start with an image better-suited to printing. -rt_/)
