Is it good enough for a poster A3?
Hi Guys
I want to print a A3 glossy poster of my car  What is the best resolution to resize my image to take to the printers?
Further, do I print with or without a caption? What are your thoughts? Is it print worthy? http://kris.dingo.net.au/Test/S3.jpg http://kris.dingo.net.au/Test/S3_2.jpg
G'day Kris,
Not sure about whether each printing place is different or not, but I've recently printed some of my holiday shots at various sizes up to 20x30 inches, and I gave the printers the max resolution tiff files I had... I've even upsized one as an experiment to a 20M pixel image (single layer 45Mb tiff) and they simply print it at what-ever size I ask for, the printer opens them using photoshop... I haven't down-sized any images for printing, I leave them at max resolution... Dunno if that helps... Other more experienced guys in this forum will probably give you better info. The shot itself looks great (I'm a car person too, so nice ), the only thing I noticed was if you go around the car's perimeter, check for little things that might distract once printed... There's a couple of things you might prefer to clone out, like the top of a building that sticks out directly above the driver side headlight, about where the passenger external mirror would be, and directly above the driver side external mirror (dunno if it's the tip of an aerial or a tree)... and definately with the caption I reckon...
Nice
Cheers, Mudder
Whether it's print worthy or not is irrelevant (I'd use the first one, by the way, without the text... it's look's cheesy with the text)
Do you want a poster of the print? Yes? That's all that matters then. Regards to resolution, I had to use fractal interpolation to make mine a poster size print as you essentially have to pull the D70 image size down to 200dpi just to hit 12" x 18". Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Great shots Chris, but the first one...is that some Vignetting in the top left hand corner? Maybe if you much around with PS u may be able to eliminate it? Not sure re up tto A3 - haven't experimented myself yet with an image that size..but good luck and let us know how you go!
Geoff.
I'll create a few different sizes and take them with me.. I'll use the non captioned one I think..
Any ideas how to remove the buildings and so on??? Vignetting? What is that.. I've no idea.
