LARGE enlargement

digitaldad07 · 09-25-2009, 02:16 PM

I have completed a commissioned shoot of a skyline. I love the result. The customer wants it as an enlargement for their living room. They want 24 x 30. I have a pro photo lab doing the work, but is there anything I should be doing to maximize the quality of the enlargement?

Your camera meets the minimum resolution for places like AdoramaPix to print up to 24x36 so that isn't too much of a worry but you might want to check and see if the place doing the print will do any upres'ing or not and how they feel about it. It can also be done yourself in a lot of the programs out there but I've never tried it. Chances are, if I were doing it for the first time and it was a paid project, I would let the lab handle it if it was within reason and they were able to do it right. Just a thought.

I checked with my lab they said all they need is to make sure the image is at least 150dpi at 24x30. Looks like I should run the fullsize jpg export in to lightroom and view it in photoshop to make sure.
