Hey guys.. I have a quick question about resolution.

If someone would like to get a low-res image (so something that can comfortably print 4x6 but nothing to larger.) what would a proper resolution be?

lol, thanks.

1200x1800 ppi will be more than enough.

About 240 ppi, or 960 x 1440 is more than enough to do 4 x 6 inches. It could probably be printed at nearly 5 x 7 before it started looking rough or grainy.
