| What
you should know about photo enlargements of digital
photos. |
|
Producing
photo enlargements from digital photos that print with
absolute original photo quality is all about the
resolution in pixels of the original digital photo. The
higher the initial resolution the larger the photo can
be printed and still maintain the actual quality of the
photo. Considering the megapixels of today's newer
digital cameras, original image quality prints can be
produced in sizes that most people never thought would
be possible.
The finest quality any digital photo can print is
actually the original capture by the camera's lens and
photo detector at the capture resolution. This means,
quality is still a matter of the camera lens and
processor, available ambient lighting and the
photographers camera settings and talent. When all these
aspects are compiled into a digital file at a given
resolution, you have the photo's ultimate image quality.
As soon as you consider photo enlargements of this
original photo, certain parameters in terms of image
resolution have to be maintained to produce actual
original photo quality photo enlargements. The main
issue is to not alter the original pixels values any
more than necessary when increasing the photo size and
resolution to produce photo enlargements.
To produce photo enlargements of digital photos, the
image resolution must be increased. The key issue here
is the processing used and software applications applied
to build image resolution. Most "over the
counter" (OTC) image editing software is very poor
at building image resolution. Photoshop, for example, is
an excellent image editing software but is very poor at
building resolution. This software uses a simple
bi-cubic resampling method which works fine for very low
percentage enlargements, but will degrade the original
visual quality of a photo. You may not notice the
degrading of the original photo quality unless you zoom
the photo to 100% view, or print the photo large.
Believe me, when printed very large you will notice the
difference in quality.
One very important point I should mention. Artificially
increasing a digital photo's resolution to a very high
value through any OTC image editing software will not
improve the detail, sharpness or any other
characteristic of the photo. The truth is, it will have
just the opposite effect. Remember, the photo will never
have any better quality than the original capture at the
original resolution. Boosting resolution with OTC
software simply decreases image quality. |

| About
the 300 ppi (pixels per inch) resolution printing standard. |
|
| About every
customer that we talk with knows about the 300 ppi
standard for printing digital photos. The real reason
for this standard has to do with what the human eye can
perceive in terms of detecting the actual pixel lines.
At 300 ppi, the pixel lines are not detectable, but at
lower printing resolutions the eye can begin to see the
pixels, getting the pixelated look that most people have
heard about with photo prints. In conclusion, all
digital printing should be performed with image files
with at least 300 ppi. Creating image files with
excessive resolution, such as 500 or 600 ppi is just
overkill and is of no benefit. This just produces huge
file sizes, and as stated above, will most likely
degrade the original image quality to a high degree. |

| About
Professional Premium Quality Photo Enlargements |
|
Professional
premium quality photo enlargements are produced using a
very advanced and sophisticated system of software
applications. The heart of this system is utilizing a
state of the art RIP software (raster image processing).
The core function of an advanced RIP software is to take
a lower resolution input photo file and reprocess the
file to a higher print resolution file and maintain
absolute original photo quality before sending the file
to the printer.
When you are considering photo enlargements of your
digital photos, we highly recommend you check with any
print service provider to make sure they are using a
high quality RIP software to be sure you get the highest
quality prints possible. Many print providers do not
believe a quality RIP is necessary, or are not willing
to pay the quite high additional expense for better
quality.
The second software application needed for highest
quality photo enlargements is an intermediate resolution
building application such as Perfect Resize (formerly
Genuine Fractals). This application builds a digital
photo file to the target output print size with a
standardized lower ppi resolution than the required 300
ppi for printing. This would be the prep file sent to
the RIP software.
The third software application would be a professional
version of Photoshop. The original resolution digital
photo file should be sized to a standardized lower
resolution file in Photoshop at whatever size in inches,
using the image size window and making sure resample is
unchecked. This will maintain the digital photo's
original pixel values for the best photo quality. This
is the photo file to be processed in the intermediate
resolution building application Perfect resize, to the
target output print size in inches.
This is precisely the system of software applications we
use to produce professional premium quality photo
enlargements. Our system spares no expense when it comes
to the finest print quality, but then again,
professional premium quality photo enlargements is our
only business and has been for the past 14 years. That
is why we offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee
on every print we ship. |
