So I was thinking of ordering a metal print from Bayphoto. The photo I want to get has a resolution of 4600x3000 and I was wondering what is the largest size print I can get before quality begins to degrade.

This is the photo I'm debating on doing:

Thanks in advance!

    You can go up to our largest sizes, I've printed (via Bay directly), 60" by 40" Metal prints from a single 5D Mark II file. Let me have a look at your file, standby.

    You can print this photo, even 30x40 if you like... I do have a couple issues. There's not really much of anything that's SUPER sharp in the photo, and it does need some good post processing (just even a small amount of curves adjustment improves this photo greatly):

    I'm an amateur so any advice would be greatly appreciated. i use lightroom 3 and cs5 so i can make some of those necessary adjustments. i still have the photo in raw format as well. i work in americorps so funds aren't exactly high when it comes to paying for someone to do post processing, so any advice is welcome

    and thank you so much!
