I'm making these photos to bring out to burning man, and the first set came out a little pixelated. Nothing horrible, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do it.
I'm shooting with a Nikon D3, and the images come out at something like, well, exactly like, 14.187" x 9.44" at 300 dpi.
I'm making a piece that will be 44" x 66", printed at 5, 13" x 44" prints.
So I went in a made the image 44" high, which made it 64.364 dpi.
I heard along the road that you wanted to print at at least 180 dpi.
So I went in and increased the dpi by 10 until I was up to 180.
They actually look pretty good put upon close inspection you can see big pixels.
I have heard of genuine fractals, but I don't know much about it, and i was just hoping to get some advice on how do this process in the best manner.
Thanks much in advance, sorry if this is too much info!!!
Best,
Jayme
