p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Advice sought: how big, realistically, could I print up this shot..... | |
Subject matter has a significant impact on printing large, or rather "how large." I think 40" is really pushing it here because of the detail involved. It is subjective, but I'm not a fan of landscape images pushed too hard and fine details (which this image has, grasses, leaves, small branches) become lost and mushy. I also don't give much credence to the "viewing distance" distance mantra as from what I've seen in fine art printing is people like to get close. Billboards not so much. Fine Art Landscapes, yes.
Some printer programs, rips, and enlargement type programs do well---it's worth looking at to see how well the file holds up.
