Gidday,

My mother just returned from Alaska last month with this shot taken from her Canon A70.

I have PP the image and cropped it to 68 x 35 cm @ 200 DPI.

But I'm a little concerned about making a jpg file of 29 x 21 cm @ 180 DPI into a larger panorama to print.

What is the best way of cropping the photo to increase the image size for printing?

Cheers

Thanks Scott,

I was pissed that Mum wouldn't pay for me to go with her. She laughed when I asked.

Cheers.

Warwick, beautiful. Try one of the scaling programs for upsizing it, I am sure someone with greater PP knowledge will make a suggestion.

Genuine Fractals has a trial version where you can use it 20 times for free.

The Fred Miranda upsizing program (Stair Interpolation?) is also supposed to be good. That said, I've never seen a direct comparison between those 2 and a simple upsize in PS. GF did a decent job turning a D70 file into a 30x20 inch print though :wink:

The photo is simply stunning, congrats to your Mum, it'll look fantastic printed large

I agree with Rooboy on GF or even Pixelscale, another program that will allow fairly lossless enlargement.

Gotta envy you mum

That will be us this time next year - if we ever get around to booking our honeymoon... Need to do it soon.

I suppose you could upsize in Photoshop, apply a tiny bit of sharpening, and you're away!

Something that size, you will be viewing at a distance anyway, and it should still look great.

Sorry I don't know much about upsizing.
The photo is a cracker. My in-laws have also just returned from a cruise in Alaska. We have sat thru 10 packets of out of focus and badly exposed photos (disposable film camera). So I was really glad to see this picture as at least I know now what the photo's they were showing us were supposed to represent.

Gorgeous shot, Wocka.

If you want, I'll interpolate the file for you.

Send me a PM.

I can feel the coldness from the pic while myself boils in envy.
