Digital
Photo Enlargement and Image Quality:
So how much can you enlarge your digital photo?
Now that you
have purchased one of the newer generation digital
cameras, and have captured a few images that are better
than you expected, you want to know how large you can
print this image and maintain original image quality.
There are only two aspects that apply for the answer to
that question. One, what is the the pixel resolution of
the digital photo file you want to enlarge, and two, how is the
actual quality of the captured photograph?
The digital photo's pixel resolution is the main factor
when considering digital photo enlargement
possibilities. Even though the software
systems we employ can produce amazing results, there are
most definitely limits to what can be accomplished and
still maintain original image quality. The best method
of determining an images maximum recommended size is to
process the digital photo through our software and
inspect various elements of the digital photo for the onset of
image breakup.
Not all digital camera image sensor files
enlarge equally. As a matter of fact, some digital
camera chips produce images that will enlarge much
better than others. So the only true answer here is to
send us your digital photo and we will process the image
to your requested size, check for quality, and send you an image report stating the maximum recommended
digital photo enlargement size for your image. We provide this service
at no charge.
The actual quality of the captured image simply means,
how good of a photograph is it. You need to consider the
exposure, focus, framing and any camera shake that may
exist, when thinking about very large photo prints.
Elements that may not enter into play at smaller print
sizes (8x10), all of a sudden become real issues when
the image is printed something like 32x40.
One of the
major problems with larger prints is when the
photographer has zoomed to much to get in close to a
subject. Excessive zooming on every point and shoot
digital camera will produce a slightly blurred, out of focus
image. You will not notice it so much printed small, but
becomes very evident when printed large. Of course, the
same principal applies to camera shake. Then, if you take
into consideration both issues, a far off subject zoomed
into view, and not using a tripod and remote or timed
shutter release, well, I think you get the picture (or
maybe not!).
