How To Enlarge Your Photographs For Stunning Canvas Prints
Digital photographs are made of individual pixels and the more pixels that your camera can capture the higher the resolution of the resulting image. If you’d like to print your image for a giant wall prints or canvas prints then you have got to consider the size of the print and identify if the image you’re going to use has an adequate resolution.
Most high quality photo prints or canvas wall art have 300 dpi (dots per inch). That implies that for each in. of the print you will need 300 pixels. If you concentrate on a regular 10 in. by 8 inch print, the resolution required to print this will be 10 x 300 and 8 x 300 pixels ie 3000 x 2400. Use this calculation when you send your image off to the printers. If you send a lower resolution then the picture will appear really poor quality.
If you’re the owner of a copy of Adobe Photoshop you can change the resolution of any of your images by employing the image size option in the menu. Open up your picture and from the menu select ‘Image ‘ and then ‘Image Size’. A dialogue box will open.
- Select the new pixel size that you would like.
- Confirm that the checkbox marked ‘constrain proportions ‘ is checked.
- Click ‘OK ‘
Photoshop will then produce a new image and if you are enlarging your picture it’ll tend to fill-in the missing pixels. You may then save this image and send it to the printers. This technique only works well if you are trying to increase the size by a small amount.
However, if you try to make huge corrections then the quality of the final print will be very poor. Consider purchasing a camera that shoots at higher resolution or stick to printing you images out at a touch smaller size.
