Thanks to all the feedback on the issue of trying to turn a 1.3Mb photo into a 2mt x 1mt banner. Yep, I know that it won’t be as clear as it could be but, being a banner, it shouldn’t be too bad.
Based on your feedback, I would appreciate confirmation on what I believe you have recommended and some guidance re my other questions:
– open the jpg file in photoshop
– save the file as a photoshop psd file (or should I create a very large photoshop file with high res then place the jpg file and increase its size gradually?)
(- should I change to CMYK at this point?)
– make the changes (remove the tree, straighten the photo, add text etc) – upsize gradually by 10% increments resampling using bicubic (smooth) interpolation (do I increase the pixels and width/height by 10% each time, or just increase the pixels by 10% and let the width/height take care of themselves?)
If I want to check pixelation, turn off resampling, resize, then show print size.
Is there any benefit in saving the photo as a tif then placing it in Illustrator (I assume not?)
I know it’s a messy set of questions but all feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers
Sandie.
