Hi, Hoping someone can help me with this one. I have looked through the posts but am still unclear about cropping and resolution size. I am using a Fuji S2 pro in the highest jpg mode (not raw) and am interested in making large (12×16)prints using an online photo service.
When I first open the image in PS, it says the image size is 42 inches by 28 inches at 72 pixels per inch. If I want to make the highest quality/resolution print at 12×16", how should I go about cropping/resizing? I am fairly sure I don’t want to "make up" pixels, as the photo would be soft then, wouldn’t it? So should I use the cropping tool just set at 12×16 or is there another way? Thanks so much for any help! Lynn

Actually the image size is 3024 x 2016 pixels. PS merely shows you the image size at the current setting.

For instance, if you set the Image resize to 180 pixels per inch (without resampling) PS will show the size as being 16.8" x 11.2" The advantage is that you can see what it looks like "full size" on the PS screen.

It’s the instructions given to the printer that matter.

(Incidentally you should use the rawest setting from the camera – with my Fuji that’s ‘soft’ – and use sharpening last of all before printing. Increasing the pixels by bi-cubic interpolation doesn’t necessarily make it ‘soft’ AIUI.)

Thanks, that really helps! It makes a lot more sense now. Lynn
