Hello everyone I downloaded the AI software a few days ago to resize some 24MP M10 files for printing. Still on free trial time. For example, a 5911 x 3941 file has the maximum print size (as per file) of 19.7" x 13.1", of course, at 300 dpi. But if I want the same file to be printed at 24" x 36" without resizing, the dpi will be 164, which is not enough if the view distance is close. I tried the ON1 plug-in and standalone app to resize to the wished largest size, and I guess the new file is outstanding, without any artifacts. It's like magic. But I still have one significant doubt. I understood that the best practice is to edit (in my case in Lr Classic) the file, and when everything it's done, as the final step, apply the resize. Am I right? But from which file type? Because I know the software can create another file, such as PSD, DNG, or TIF, so I can export the final resized file for printing directly from LR. But I could also export a 300 DPI, a not compressed Tif file from LR at 16bits (for example), then launch the ON1 Resize app and convert the TIF file to a new resized Tif file (or high-quality Jpeg)... What do you recommend doing? With the latter, am I losing quality in the process? Because it looks like the options are more than one, but the best quality is (maybe) assured with one type only of workflow. Please help me to understand, Thank you, D. -
I found this old post and started to read it. But it's more than ten years ago. Are things changed? I'm discovering the powerful tool of how to resample for print. I knew the technology was there but had never tried before, until last week. Especially, I'm learning these days about the difference between: Super Resolution - to double the size of a raw/dng file Preserve details 2.0 (I tried up to 200%) With your files you know you will print, do you resample the raw or the exported file for specific sizes? Is it always helpful? I know the details of a native 47MP file will always be 'better' than a 24MP resampled. But hey, technology made some significant steps concerning IQ. Logically, if the resample quality is excellent, why don't you use it all the time? 🤔

Do you know where I can find this information online instead of opening all pdf of each paper brand on sale? I can't find it. I just started diving into the fascinating world of fine art prints, and I'm enjoying the journey and the new knowledge very much. What a beautiful sensation to handle and feel a print. For a while, I forgot what it was about. What's your opinion about OBA?

I'm having a terrible time printings some portraits for a gallery show. I'm using Ilford Galerie Prestige Gold Fibre Silk paper, 13x19, and printing with an Epson 1430 Artisan printer. I'm printing through LightRoom, using the Ilford profile for that paper. I've turned off color correction for the printer itself and am using the color settings in LR. I'm using Relative Intent. Here is an example of my digital file: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/166471709/large Here is an iPhone photo of the actual print: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/167279204 See the greenish shadow on her jaw? All of my portraits are printing with these green shadows somewhere. I've tried adjusting the color balance of the whole photo which makes it too pink and I've tried adjusting the toning of just the shadows which doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy!! TIA Tina

Ladies and gents, I searched the net since quite some time for experiences and examples that demonstrate the performance and quality of Leica M10 or SL files for large printing. With large prints I mean sizes up to 150cm (60") on the long side. There are lots of comparisons and reviews between cameras of different makes, e.g. between SL and Hasselblad X1D, but they concentrate mainly on usability or spec-sheet resolution etc. They don't say anything about the final product, which is the print. Print quality from files of a particular camera is nearly never mentioned or discussed. I would like to ask the community here for experiences with printing large from Leica full frame cameras such as M10, SL, 240 or even M9. I know, many of the answers will state "quality is subjective", "depends on viewing distance" or "depends on expectation", etc. But maybe this thread is able to shed some more light on people's experience. I'm sure there must be some prints out there of such sizes. Did you send your SL or M images for example to services such as whitewall.com to produce such large prints? Do you print yourself? How do M or SL files hold up in a 40x60" print? Are they totally inferior to a print from digital medium format... ? Cheers, Peter
