Before you retype the resolution field
Changing an image's resolution setting to "300 DPI" in software does not add detail to it. Print quality depends on how many pixels the file actually has at the size you're printing — the number in that field is just a label. If this image is smaller than you need, look for the original camera file, the original attachment, or a higher-resolution download rather than adjusting that setting.

Images are one part of preflight
Resolution, timeline, approvals, accessibility, and print specs all need to line up before a publication goes to press. A Publication Plan Call walks through all of it.
