Photo Quality Indicator
The quality of photos used in the design must be good to ensure clarity in the final product. Video Xpress has an in-
built ‘Quality Indicator’, which warns you whenever the photo quality goes below the required standards. Once a
photo has been placed into the frame the indicator warns you if the resolution is inappropriate for the desired output
size. The warning symbols and their interpretations are presented in Table.
