IMAGE RESOLUTION

In Photoshop, you can go to

DETERMINE IMAGE QUALITY FROM SOURCE
- Good Quality:
- High resolution / high quality stock photography
- High resolution / high quality scanner
- Low Quality:
- Screen capture of video frame
- Low resolution / low quality stock photography

WHY 125 DPI?
Since your banner will be a large format print, you don’t need to prepare your file in 300 DPI which is usually used for smaller format print.
