Hi, I have been contacted by a client in America whom want to buy one of my images to be used as a focal piece in an art gallery.
Great, but problem is they want to print it 4ft by 3ft..
Does anyone know if something like Genuine Fractals would be good for this, or if there is any way to enlarge whilst retaining quality.
Original is around standard D100 size. Perhaps I cropped it a bit can't remember.

Ask how they will be printing. You'd be amazed how well a low-resolution photo looks printed from a good plotter (like the Epson 9600).
BTW- I probably got a dozen emails in the past week with the same title as your thread. No thanks, I'm OK. ;-)

I´ve used Altamira's Print Pro, a plugin for photoshop to print postersized photographs taken with my Fujifilm S5000 with great quality.
BTW Contratulations!!

I've blown digital pics up to 20"x30" with very good results, using the Photoshop "10% increment" trick (from Kelby's book on photoshop for digital photographers). The final results wouldn't bear extra close inspection, but they were very respectable.

If your image is a crop from a larger photo, you may have trouble. You may want to investigate a halftone printing process.

| Photos from my old 3.3mpix Canon EOS D30 looked great on a few 50x150cm posters so I don't think you have to worry. If you got the RAW files, use them because JPEG causes some ugly wierd stuff when enlarged very much. |

genuine fractals would be good. When i worked for the university photographers at my old university, that's what they would use....saw some 20x30's of files shot on canon's d60 and looked good. Of course it's gonna lose some sharpness, but when it's that big you probably won't be looking so close.
