Hi Jay,
To be honest, I haven't used iPhoto, yet. I did, however, look at the submit window for ordering prints and it appears to be the same as Ofoto. Kodak owns and operates Ofoto and iPhoto. The pricing is identical at both places. I would bet that ordering prints from either place would result in good prints.
That said, here's a list of minimum requirements set by Ofoto to get the highest quality prints. The same would be true for iPhoto. One thing that will help you is, learn to think of your scans or digital images in pixel size (ppi) rather than in inches or some other measurement.
Recommended Minimum Resolutions
To get high-quality prints in variety of sizes, Ofoto recommends your photos have at least the following minimum resolutions:
-For a wallet-size print, the image resolution should be 320 x 240 pixels minimum
-For a 4 x 6" print, the image resolution should be 640 x 480 pixels minimum
-For a 5 x 7" print, the image resolution should be 1024 x 768 pixels minimum
-For a 8 x 10" print, the image resolution should be 1536 x 1024 pixels minimum
-For a 16 x 20" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum
-For a 20 x 30" print, the image resolution should be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum
(edit) Why is my post all scrutched up to one side?
