Been working on projects that involve rather large prints. Here is one of my latest efforts in that arena. Prints 6 feet X 25 feet at 150PPI. This is not gallery quality of course, but should be quite nice for wall sized prints.

This is 7 images taken portrait style.

Roman,

I really wish I had a garden like that close to me. I have seen several of yours' from that garden before, but I really love panoramas and this is spectacular.

I do have a question about your dimensions. I know, like me, you're using a D300. The dimensions of the D300 image are 4288x2848 pixels. Now it you have seven of these together that's probably about 4288x18000 (allowing for some overlap). At 150ppi that would be about 28.5"x120" or 2x10 ft using native resolution. Does that mean you are uprezzing this about 3x to get 6x25ft?

I print my panos on my Epson 4800 which will do a 17" width. I don't print below 200ppi except in a real pinch and if I have an uncropped D300 pano shot in portrait I usually print at around 260ppi to give me a 16" height with native resolution.

Just wondering. And again great image as usual.

Geo

Yes...I am uprezzing. My technique is to uprez to 12 feet on the shortest side at 240PPI with FredMiranda tool, from a 360PPI origonal.... then downrez using bicubit sharper in generic fashion in PS to 6 feet on the shortest side at 150PPI.

Just pushing the envelope is all seeing how big I can really get with my 12MP and my newer lens. I have some rather large projects in store soon. Woln't talk about them much and let the cat out of the bag too early....as all is not cemented in place yet...but big things are a brewing.

Oh...and I do ACR at 25.1MP 360PPI as my orginal RAW conversion.

Roman,

Not using NX for conversions anymore?

LOL...yes but no...but yes...but no. I have invested in the Scott Kelby Training on line. Some new tricks have been learned...and the gap is closing between the two for me.

Jury is still out...but if my education keeps showing me great results....NX might be back out of the picture.

For the average user, NX would still be my reccomendation for NEF files...but it just isn't powerful enough for what I want to do.....and removing it would simplify my workflow as I usually end up in photoshop anways.

I don't really think that would be considered a print. I was thinking billboard

Sell a very large print to big businesses.....wall sized print in a hospital....or local business.

You would be suprised at the budget allowed for such things in the corperate world.
