Help, I am a resolution addict. I never meant to become one it just sort of happened.
It started when I was shooting photos with a Nikon 995. I would print this at Costco as 4 x 6 print. Life was good for a while, people really were impressed with the quality of the prints and I was happy. But then I got looking closer at the prints and for however good they were they were not reproducing all the detail that was in the photos. No problem, I bought a good photo printer and started printing out a few of my photos as 8 x 10s, now all the detail that was in the photo we easy to see in the print, I was happy once moreâ€Â¦for a while.
In time I came to notice that the 8 x 10 prints simply did not look as sharp as the 4 by 6 prints, I had enlarged too much for the resolution of my camera (3.2 MP). The more I looked at my prints the more blurred they looked to me, the solution was of course a new camera, a 8 MP Sony, happiness was once again mine. The 8 x 10 prints looked great as sharp as anyone could want.
Buy now I as back to the situation where not all the detail of the photo was visible in the prints, no problem Costco will make 10 x 16 prints for only $4.00. If you guessed that the 10 x 16 inch prints did not look as sharp as I might like you have come to realize the nature of my addiction.
There is no sense in this ever increasing quest for more resolution I fully realize that but I find that I can̢۪t stand to see any of my camera̢۪s resolution wasted or my printers and of course one or the other always will be.
I know that other suffer from this worse then me so that is something, check out the link below to see just how far this can go if unchecked, at least I have not gone that far, yet.
