Hi
I have a really good 1.3Mb jpg photo taken with a 5mpx digital camera. I need to be able to enlarge the photo for use on a banner measuring 2 metres x 1 metre. Also, I need to "remove" a tree from the photo and rotate the photo slightly because a sign is crooked and add some wording(no problem at doing these changes).
What is the best way to put the picture into Photoshop, make the changes I need to make and store the photo at its highest resolution for use on the banner eg do I open the file in Photoshop and save it as a psd, then make the changes, then enlarge the photo (I’ve heard you can only enlarge in 10% increments?) or, instead, do I place the photo in Illustrator and work on it there, or do I export it to PDF, or …?
For some reason, when the people doing the banner opened my Photoshop file, they said it was only at 72dpi even though my file was 20Mb in size. This seems strange because when I printed the file on an A4 page, the picture was extremely good quality.
I’m using Photoshop 6 (will be upgrading to Photoshop CS soon when budget allows).
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Sandie.
