Photo EnlargementsBack on my birthday I received a gift certificate from my dad to the photo place down the street. It’s a fantastic photo store, probably the best known one in town. Anyway, I decided to try making some enlargements of digital photos, just to see what they’d look like coming off my camera. I selected this image, which should be familiar to you, my loyal blog readers.
I had three different enlargements made up. A matte 5x7, a glossy 8x10 and a glossy 12x18 (which was the largest standard enlargement on their list). I wasn’t sure how the really big one was going to work out, as Photoshop told me I was only going to get 120 dpi or so when I spread the picture out over that area. As it turns out 120 dpi is (barely) ok, and I am very happy with the result. It is true that if you hold the 5x7 up next to the 12x18 the smaller print is slightly sharper, but standing at a reasonable viewing distance the larger enlargement looks great. My plan now is to matte out the giant enlargement to a standard size, then buy a stock frame (IKEA has various 20x28 inch frames that would probably work just fine). Not sure what I’m going to do with the other two… I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
