print sizing

[Runmonty]

Hi npdynamite. Welcome to the forum

Personally I cant help you much, but Marko (the administrator of this forum) released a podcast on this topic a while ago. Although the information is a few years old, it is equally valid now. (although upsizing software should have improved in that time??)

Here is a link to the podcast episode How Big Can I print that Photo - Interview with Royce Howland | Photography.ca

Hi: Welcome to the forum. In addition to RM's good suggestion, there is a detailed explanation at https://pagemaster.ca/photo-resoluti...-for-printing/ In that link they mention another site I use Printing > Pixels, PPI, & Print Size Calculators to get a rough idea of the size you can print. At the top of the link page there is a tutorial about resampling (applies to Photoshop Elements but can also apply to recent Photoshop editions or other software) which may help you as well. Generally I would say you can't do what you are hoping to do, because 1. it would be expensive and 2. your camera isn't high enough resolution. My guess is you can reach a high enough resolution if you were to stitch several images together. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.
