I want to make an image for a 24"x36" poster. I want the quality and resolution to match (or be close enough) the quality of the average detailed poster you’d see in a store. What would be a good resolution to use? 200-300 PPI? 600 PPI?
A 24×36 inch image with a 300 PPI resolution is 222MB. Would that produce a high quality that resembles most posters or would I need to go higher? I just hope I don’t have to work with 1.5GB filesizes and have my CPU melt down. Thanks!
* Edit* The main thing I’m trying to avoid is spending a ton of time working on something, just to have it printed in poster size at kinko’s and have it turn up blurry or pixilated.
