@@iyaahn How to size the mid journey photos. They come out small and now I can enlarge them to poster size with clear resolution. My photos come out much better after I enlarge.
I think you should increase resolution first. Increase to like 1200 ppi, then enlarge to 60 in. Then reduce back to 300 ppi to make file size more reasonable. Should end up much less grainy that way... Picas were used in print layout back in the old cut and paste days (like, with scissors and glue)
Hello! I have an art with 1200dpi and i'd like to print as a panel with 4,00 x 2,70 meters (157,48 x 106,3 inches). Is it possible to have a high resolution print with that?
@@arthurcorreia7204 i think it depends on the quality and dimensions of the image before enlarging. But i think yes. Do the enlarging while it is at 1200 px and when you have it to the width and height at which you intend to print, THEN reduce resolution to a more printer-friendly 300
You can’t do that. The number of megapixels of your image is fixed. You can see that when you uncheck the « resample » checkbox. When you increase your dpi you reduce the image physical dimension, when you decrease your dpi, you increase the image physical dimension. If you increase your dpi to 1200 then you are either making your image very small (resample off) or asking Photoshop to invent new pixels (resample on). Resample should be avoided for printing.
@@donovanschoor1473based on this i suppose you need a high dpi which you can enter your image in an online dpi convertor and increase it and then resize your image to be larger. I am not sure how well this would work i am yet to try it myself soon hopefully
Good instructions. So I asked GPT AI who uses Picas, and this is the answer it gave me. I must say, as a Graphic Designer, and one who works with type face, I have never used Picas. However I do recall something about Picas a very long time ago in high school when using on a manual typewriter. LOL "Pica" is a unit of measurement that is occasionally used in certain fields, particularly in typography and typesetting. It's a unit of measurement commonly used in the United States. One pica is equivalent to 1/6th of an inch or approximately 0.16667 inches. Graphic designers, typesetters, and professionals who work with print media and typography sometimes use picas to specify font sizes, line spacing, and other layout measurements. Picas are preferred in these fields because they provide a more precise and consistent way of describing layout elements than inches or millimeters. However, it's important to note that the use of picas is not as widespread as other measurement systems like inches or millimeters, and their use may be limited to specific industries and professions. Additionally, as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the use of picas is more common in the United States than in many other parts of the world.
Picas? I haven't heard that in a while. Everything in the photo industry is inches so I can't really give any more insight than what Chat GPT has given. 🙄
When I did designs for canvas prints for billboards we use to work 300dpi, but our image size was at 50% of the complete image wich still looked great as these billboards are generally next to the highway or in an area where one does not view the image up close.
its worth saying that of course the larger the print the distance you will be away from it - eg billboards may only be 10ppi - and you dont see them because the distance is many many metres away. - same goes for wall prints, you dont tend to stand inches away when looking, its a few metres away so you can get away with lower PPI.
Hello, any tips on how to create posters on my small pc screen and even though it will look very small be sure it will be visible while in a very large format say ( A0 size)
The pica is a typographic unit.. very specific shit... never used it but a few "Magazine Designer" Friends can't live without it haha so i hope it helps.
Hello I have a Batman image creeated in midjourney, I want to print this on 10*10 feet banner without quality losses, what can I do now, the image size is 5 MB
I crop all photos to 24x36 and 350 DPI BUT I want to make a large hardcover book of my macro. How can I convert them to another size without losing part of image?
I srsly don't understand this. Keeping an image at 320dpi and enlarging size... It's artificially 320dpi. You can't adjust the size without the resolution adjusting. Right? Otherwise no one would have printing issues if you could just take. 72dpi 5x5 and say it's a 30x30 300 dpi. It doesn't work that way. I must be missing something.
Fascinating explanation although much of it made my head spin. When you send an image to be printed, say 40 x 30, which is bigger than the pixel count of your original full frame or APS-C original, do you use Lightroom to upscale it and send that over? Or do you send them a smaller size and they work the magic?
@@Photillustrator I want a classic album cover to be a poster, but the only picture sizes I can find are 74.45 kb & 96.96 kb, 🤦🏿♂️ will it be possible at all?
Hi and thanks for showing how to resize images. But what if I have a small original painting that I want to print for let's say in size A4, is my first step to scan and then send it to my computer and open it in Photoshop?
Hello Jay may I ask you a question please Sir if you don't mind a image on Google caught my attention and wanted it blew up as a poster 44×60 if possible I definitely need your assistance
You start with a large image. Then you can reduce the size. So how many pixels or mega pixels do you need to make a large image. The higher the PPI closer you would look at the image. If you print at 35 PPI the image will be pixelated but the image would be much larger and you would look at it from further away. The larger and larger you print the farther and farther you stand back to look at it which requires less resolution. Billboards are 14' by 48' and the DPI to print, 15. Why because you don't look at a billboard from three feet away you look at it from where you are on the road. A 2 megapixel image is all that's needed to create a billboard size image.

That really depends on the original size of your jpg. If you're trying to enlarge a smaller jpg file you will see breakdown in the image. RAW files do give you a lot more flexibility but not necessarily in size. Enlarging comes down to how many pixels make up that image. More pixels = BIGGER enlargements.
I have a tif file I exported to PNG. In hopes that the resolution would be better but I need it to be 100mb or less for the print company I use. How do I reduce it to 100mb or close to that ? @Photillustrator
Hello! I have an art with 1200dpi and i'd like to print as a panel with 4,00 x 2,70 meters (157,48 x 106,3 inches). Is it possible to have a high resolution print with that?
I have a magazine that contacted me over doing an article on my art.. everything seems legit, I have done many articles for fine art magazines in the past but something that sent red flags is they are asking for jpeqs that are 25MB large. And when I try to size up that large from the original photo it doesnt reach 25mb's until the image size is like 30 to 40 inches wide. My question is why the heck they would need a photo that large for a small print magazine. And also blowing up the photos that large ruins the quality.
The larger the original image, say from a 40megapixel camera would produce a smaller 25mb image while a camera that produces a smaller image, say a 20megapixel camera would produce a larger 25mb image. The more pixels the smaller the 25mb image.
@@Photillustrator I see, so they are use to artists having what? A scan of an image to get that resolution in that type of file? I use a pretty good Canon sl3 and couldnt make it work
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 I'm not sure about your specific situation without seeing your file. However, when I export my large images for printing, I export them at actual size rather than letting the lab enlarge it. So, if I'm printing a 50" portrait, I export it as a 50" jpg image.
@@Photillustrator there is a ton of quality that is lost when you size a smaller image up that high though. Every way i have tried it has resulted in a blurry grainy image
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 That's because your original file is too small. There is a limitation of how big you can go based on the file. You might try some other programs that may help you get your image enlarged with less breakdown.
Hey is there chance you or anyone in the comments would know how to print good quality photos with a inkjet wall printer I'm trying to find out any info I can but it's hard as I don't know anything about printing and I need to learn all this from the ground up any help would be much appreciated almost tearing out my hair here
