Sarah_ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Print needed of this image: 52cm x 40cm. It was captured on a mobile phone in 'live' view. (Not my pic). Image size in PS: 45cm x 33cm 72dpi. Is there any way to get a great quality large print from this or will a smaller size be required? Or bin it? With thanks.

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 How about choosing canvas? That would be a bit more forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Thanks. It looked so good on his phone that I was thinking an acrylic mount would be amazing with increased saturation. Will this be an option? Edited January 31, 2019 by Sarah_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yeah, that's a good point. Acrylic (with increased saturation) will look amazing, colour-wise. ... but it would be pretty unforgiving, quality-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Unless it's a much smaller size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thanks. How do I go about changing 72dpi to 300dpi? I assume there's right and wrong ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 No, not at all. Just do it exactly the same way you do when preparing any other photo for print, exactly as you learned in the Sharpening Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks. I have never had to go down this road before. Flatten, crop (WxHxRatio) then apply my print sharpening prefs. Here's a 700x700crop preview at an 8x10inch size. I don't feel comfortable pushing much beyond this. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think it'll be excellent. Why not test a bigger print like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Thank you! Client has opted to leave the project for now. He will take a new (non-live) pic on his next trip for a higher quality file. He wants it to be big! Thanks for your assistance. I hope to revisit this again in the coming months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
