We get many questions about image size. Although we are always happy to asses your images for you to determine their max print size, we thought you may appreciate the following information.<\/p>\n

If you enlarge any image past its native print size, interpolation will occur (pixel inventing) resulting in a loss of quality. This loss of quality may be very slight and is directly affected by the following factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The megapixel size of your camera<\/li>\n
  2. The sharpness of your image (is it in focus?)<\/li>\n
  3. The subject matter (is it an arty\/abstract image that will not suffer from loss of details)<\/li>\n
  4. Your camera’s exposure settings can also have an effect on print quality. An ISO 800 image will look better printed smaller than the same image on ISO 100<\/li>\n
  5. The amount of editing and effects you have applied to the image<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Generally the bigger the original image file the better it will look when printed as you can see from the following guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n
