p.1 #1 · What resolution do you deliver pictures at?
I came across a post from a pretty famous wedding photographer who wrote that he typically delivered pictures no larger than 3000 pixels on the longest side, which translates to 6 mp images (assuming 3000 x 2000), even though he shoots with a 5D2 (21 mp). This got me wondering...what do you shoot with, and what resolution do you deliver digital image files to clients?

I always deliver in web res and high res.
Web res is 720px and has a small watermark.
High res, I used to deliver in 3000x2000 but now usually 10 or 12MP depending on how I thought the day's photos came out. (e.g. noise or maybe higher than normal slightly OOF images would mean I would deliver in the lower res.)
I always thought 6MP would be large enough to make any enlargement due to standing back further to view an image the larger it is printed.
Back in the days, plenty of poster sized prints were made from 20D files.

Whenever I've done a disk for someone I've done web (850px, watermwark), 7x5 and then full res. The full res ones are all over the places though, so I think going with 6MP would make sense, thanks for the tip.

hi... I make web version 850 on the longer size and high res version 1500 on the longer. this is due to keep all the photos in 1 disk. But photos that get printed usually get full res.
I live in Bangladesh where people do not print more than 6 X 4. However if they want more than 6 X 4 they can always contact me.
Hmmm... Seems u all provide it in 3000 in longer side. Wondering if I am making any mistake or not. but so far no body complained....

It's easier to plug in a flat number into lightroom on export and it creates a sense of uniformity especially if you had to crop some images slightly.
+1 and also if you're shooting with cameras that have different resolutions (D700, D300 and D7000 in my case).

I was doing full-res until this post! lol I got tired of 2-3 discs for each event off of my full-resolution files. So now, 3000 max at 300 ppi. But I'm also gonna create full resolution for my online galleries so clients can order massive prints if they like.
