im just trying to make my small digital art larger without having to redraw it... I want the exact same detail
I have been trying to figure this out for weeks, and you showed me in the most simplest of ways. Thank you. I'm a new follower
Glad it helped!
@@iyaahn How to size the mid journey photos. They come out small and now I can enlarge them to poster size with clear resolution.
My photos come out much better after I enlarge.
Thank you for this. Thank you for speaking clearly, slowly and making this understandable for anybody.
Oh, I think your family will just LOVE it when you show off that pic! Great tutorial too. :-)
Thank you
great helpful video, thank you
Hi and thanks for showing how to resize images. But what if I have a small original painting that I want to print for let's say in size A4, is my first step to scan and then send it to my computer and open it in Photoshop?
I think you should increase resolution first. Increase to like 1200 ppi, then enlarge to 60 in. Then reduce back to 300 ppi to make file size more reasonable. Should end up much less grainy that way...
Picas were used in print layout back in the old cut and paste days (like, with scissors and glue)
Might have to try that. Thanks for sharing
Hello! I have an art with 1200dpi and i'd like to print as a panel with 4,00 x 2,70 meters (157,48 x 106,3 inches). Is it possible to have a high resolution print with that?
@@arthurcorreia7204 i think it depends on the quality and dimensions of the image before enlarging. But i think yes. Do the enlarging while it is at 1200 px and when you have it to the width and height at which you intend to print, THEN reduce resolution to a more printer-friendly 300
@@abuharam That's cool! I'll give it a go, thank you so much for the help and super fast reply!!
You can’t do that. The number of megapixels of your image is fixed.
You can see that when you uncheck the « resample » checkbox. When you increase your dpi you reduce the image physical dimension, when you decrease your dpi, you increase the image physical dimension.
If you increase your dpi to 1200 then you are either making your image very small (resample off) or asking Photoshop to invent new pixels (resample on).
Resample should be avoided for printing.
This is the 1st time I saw this vdo & it make sense Bro, great job.( subscribed your channel )
Thank you
how do i get an image file that is 16200x10800px png at 300dpi without going over a 48mb file limit?
If I wanted to print it to 16x20 what settings would i save it to?
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this .
My pleasure!
Great video and much needed info haha! Cheers heaps :-)
If I am printing a photo from cvs can I use this method to print a 24x 36 ?
Exporting would've been a nice addition too!! But great video, really helped a lot :)
thank you!!!🤍
You're welcome!!
Hello I have a Batman image creeated in midjourney, I want to print this on 10*10 feet banner without quality losses, what can I do now, the image size is 5 MB
Can you change to resolution of the photo?
When I did designs for canvas prints for billboards we use to work 300dpi, but our image size was at 50% of the complete image wich still looked great as these billboards are generally next to the highway or in an area where one does not view the image up close.
I know billboards are a different printing process than I use and I'm sure that means exporting for a billboard size image is likely different.
Okay that's good but how to actually export it for a print ? which color profile,format is best for a print?
Fascinating explanation although much of it made my head spin. When you send an image to be printed, say 40 x 30, which is bigger than the pixel count of your original full frame or APS-C original, do you use Lightroom to upscale it and send that over? Or do you send them a smaller size and they work the magic?
I size it up through LR before sending to the lab. That way I know exactly what to expect when I get the print back.
@@Photillustrator I want a classic album cover to be a poster, but the only picture sizes I can find are 74.45 kb & 96.96 kb, 🤦🏿♂️ will it be possible at all?
Can I turn a 1024px x 1024px to a 12,288px x 12,288 pixel?? Is that posible?
what photoshop software do you use?
I crop all photos to 24x36 and 350 DPI BUT I want to make a large hardcover book of my macro. How can I convert them to another size without losing part of image?

did this work for you?
what software or site do you use?
How...do you export it
I was thinking this was more advanced way to scale up without losing detail
How many megapixels on your camera to make that print ? How did you do a photo composite of that photograph ?
40 megapixels
Hello Jay may I ask you a question please Sir if you don't mind a image on Google caught my attention and wanted it blew up as a poster 44×60 if possible I definitely need your assistance
I wouldn't blow up any image if it isn't yours.
I srsly don't understand this.
Keeping an image at 320dpi and enlarging size... It's artificially 320dpi. You can't adjust the size without the resolution adjusting.
Right?
Otherwise no one would have printing issues if you could just take. 72dpi 5x5 and say it's a 30x30 300 dpi.
It doesn't work that way.
I must be missing something.
The pica is a typographic unit.. very specific shit... never used it but a few "Magazine Designer" Friends can't live without it haha so i hope it helps.
I thought resolution was what mattered. 72ppi is for screen, 150ppi is for small prints and 300ppi+ is for larger prints
Thanks
its worth saying that of course the larger the print the distance you will be away from it - eg billboards may only be 10ppi - and you dont see them because the distance is many many metres away. - same goes for wall prints, you dont tend to stand inches away when looking, its a few metres away so you can get away with lower PPI.
Good instructions.
So I asked GPT AI who uses Picas, and this is the answer it gave me. I must say, as a Graphic Designer, and one who works with type face, I have never used Picas. However I do recall something about Picas a very long time ago in high school when using on a manual typewriter. LOL
"Pica" is a unit of measurement that is occasionally used in certain fields, particularly in typography and typesetting. It's a unit of measurement commonly used in the United States. One pica is equivalent to 1/6th of an inch or approximately 0.16667 inches.
Graphic designers, typesetters, and professionals who work with print media and typography sometimes use picas to specify font sizes, line spacing, and other layout measurements. Picas are preferred in these fields because they provide a more precise and consistent way of describing layout elements than inches or millimeters.
However, it's important to note that the use of picas is not as widespread as other measurement systems like inches or millimeters, and their use may be limited to specific industries and professions. Additionally, as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the use of picas is more common in the United States than in many other parts of the world.
Picas? I haven't heard that in a while. Everything in the photo industry is inches so I can't really give any more insight than what Chat GPT has given. 🙄
lord this is a lot for someone that is not good with a computer
It can be but I don't know a whole lot either 😂
Can we do this without losing quality and not losing every detail in the picture
Does this only apply to raw files ? I’m trying to make a 30x40” print for a client and one lab says it’s too small. It’s a jpg
That really depends on the original size of your jpg. If you're trying to enlarge a smaller jpg file you will see breakdown in the image. RAW files do give you a lot more flexibility but not necessarily in size. Enlarging comes down to how many pixels make up that image. More pixels = BIGGER enlargements.
@@Photillustrator thank you ! Very helpful.
I have a tif file I exported to PNG. In hopes that the resolution would be better but I need it to be 100mb or less for the print company I use. How do I reduce it to 100mb or close to that ? @Photillustrator
Good video
Thank you
Hey is there chance you or anyone in the comments would know how to print good quality photos with a inkjet wall printer I'm trying to find out any info I can but it's hard as I don't know anything about printing and I need to learn all this from the ground up any help would be much appreciated almost tearing out my hair here
I have a magazine that contacted me over doing an article on my art.. everything seems legit, I have done many articles for fine art magazines in the past but something that sent red flags is they are asking for jpeqs that are 25MB large. And when I try to size up that large from the original photo it doesnt reach 25mb's until the image size is like 30 to 40 inches wide. My question is why the heck they would need a photo that large for a small print magazine. And also blowing up the photos that large ruins the quality.
The larger the original image, say from a 40megapixel camera would produce a smaller 25mb image while a camera that produces a smaller image, say a 20megapixel camera would produce a larger 25mb image. The more pixels the smaller the 25mb image.
@@Photillustrator I see, so they are use to artists having what? A scan of an image to get that resolution in that type of file? I use a pretty good Canon sl3 and couldnt make it work
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 I'm not sure about your specific situation without seeing your file. However, when I export my large images for printing, I export them at actual size rather than letting the lab enlarge it. So, if I'm printing a 50" portrait, I export it as a 50" jpg image.
@@Photillustrator there is a ton of quality that is lost when you size a smaller image up that high though. Every way i have tried it has resulted in a blurry grainy image
@@devinmichaelroberts9954 That's because your original file is too small. There is a limitation of how big you can go based on the file. You might try some other programs that may help you get your image enlarged with less breakdown.
You forgot the resolution at 72dpi which means 70in (72dpi) is actually 5000px it is small for print. 5000px in 300dpi is roughly a Letter size! Use 300dpi for print indoor. Maybe from 300 to 150 dpi minimum for better quality! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the insights on dpi. 🤘
And you export it how?
Yes, once you've resized it you can export it.
Picas is a measurement in the graphics & print industry.
Yep. Thanks
Lot of confusion on this video, starting with the « resample » checkbox left on.
lol picas was used in the stone age - of actual type-set newspapers
That's funny.
it's Tuesday lol
last time I heard of of somebody using picahs was in high school in Yearbook class.... in 1996. lolol
6 picahs = one inch.
Your tips are really bad, Sorry man…
Thanks for the feedback
use Ai to upscale img
