Re: Blowing-up a file

Guy,

How big you can go depends on how good you want it to look from how far away.

I've had images from a 6 gig camera blown up to four x eight feet and they were knock-your-socks-off gorgeous from several feet away.

Mine were enlarged in PS and sharpened only once, at the very end just before printing.

I am interested in knowing the group's experience with blowing-up files for printing to very-large format.  I am working with a Sony A100 10 megapixel DSLR and I am curious to find out how far I can blow-up a picture.

What is the best program to use?  How far can I go on enlarging the file? What is the best procedure to use (i-e a 1-shot increase with unsharping at the end or several smaller size enlargements with a small dose of unsharping).

Thanks in advance.
