1digichick Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I want to print a 24x30 and a 30x40 canvas. My image is 5181x3454 at 300ppi. Do I need to enlarge the photo before sending to lab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yes. And account for any wrap width. And sharpen for print for each output size.

1digichick Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I talked to my lab this morning and she said "we recommend not sharpening your files". Do I not sharpen even when I enlarge? And how do you enlarge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Time for a new lab. That is appalling advice. Sharpening is vital when printing. Any size, not just enlargements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1digichick Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's what I thought! It's a very big lab too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just by using the Crop Tool to crop it to the exact size and resolution needed. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
