How to Determine
Photo Enlargement Sizes for Your Digital Photos

Determining what photo
enlargement sizes a digital photo will produce is fairly
easy. If you have a version of Photoshop or another image
editing application with similar features, it is very easy
to figure out photo enlargement print sizes. If you don't
have an image editing application, all you need to know is
either the actual size of the existing original digital
photo in inches, or the pixel dimensions of the digital
photo.
Determining photo enlargement printing sizes with
Photoshop:
All you need to do is open the original digital photo in
Photoshop.
Go to the "Image Size" window.
For Photoshop CS versions - click image > image size
For Photoshop Elements versions - click image > resize
> image size (may vary)
Note the Document Size section with width / height /
resolution fields.
Make sure "constrain proportions" is checked.
Select (blue out) either width or height and enter any
value you are considering for photo enlargement print size
in inches.
The software will give you the corresponding dimension for
an overall enlargement size.
IMPORTANT - when done, "Cancel" image size
window to not apply changes.
Determining photo enlargement printing sizes knowing photo
size in inches or pixels:
For this exercise we will use a digital photo with the
following default sizes -
size in inches - 12 x 16
pixel dimensions - 2736 x 3648
Simply divide the larger number by the smaller number,
either inches or pixels, for a ratio value. With the above
example the value is 1.33.
Say you want an enlargement 30" on the short side of
the photo.
Multiply 30" by 1.33 = 40" (round up)
Overall photo enlargement size = 30 x 40.
Say you want an enlargement 24" on the long side of
the photo.
Divide 24" by 1.33 = 18"
Overall photo enlargement size = 18 x 24.
This method of figuring overall photo enlargement print
sizes is not precise due to the fact of rounding off
numbers for ratio values and print sizes, but it will give
you a very close estimate of your digital photo's
enlargement sizes.
