Yearbooks are usually rendered and printed at 300 dpi. Your publishing company has specified resolution warning levels to ensure that content placed on your pages will print well.
Images have a resolution measured in the number of pixels across the length and width. For example, most yearbook portrait images have a 640 pixel wide x 800 pixel tall resolution. When an image is added to your canvas and sized to a particular dimension on the canvas, the available number of pixels is distributed over the dimensions of the frame.
When an image that has few pixels is stretched over a larger area, the DIP (dots per inch) decreases. The lower the DPI, the worst print quality.
Memento's page editor will flag images that fall below your publisher's quality standard. Orange indlcates a potential quality issue, red signals that the image will be visibly low quality. Warning will appear on photos, clipart and backgrounds.
The only solutions for low-res warnings are to replace the image or resize it smaller, until the warning sign disappears.
