Hi everyone, I need to print large graphics with minimal loss of quality (by large, I am talking about something 6 feet by 4 feet). I know that the resolution of the image is crucial for such a task, but I had a few questions I was hoping to have answered:
1) Realistically, what resolution would I need to have my images in so I could print them out at a 6′ x 4′ size with minimal loss of quality or distortion?
2) Are there any preferred methods within Photoshop which I could use to resize my image to 6′ x 4′ and minimize all of the blurriness which comes along with it? For example, if I had a 1024 x 768 pixel image at 72 dpi, what’s the biggest size I could make this image and what’s the best way to do this?
3) Are there any good web resources which provide hi-res images for printing in the size requirements I have?
4) Finally, if I am scanning a photo, what’s the appropriate dpi I should be scanning at in order to satisfy my size requirements?
Thanks for any help!
