How big SHOULD I blow up this picture?

JoshFink

I was hoping someone could give me a hand here.

I have a picture that is 3105px x 4004px and I was wondering, what is the biggest print I can get without losing quality.

Thanks

Josh

You can print up to 30x40 with SmugMug and it should print beaufifully. I'd like to see the photo, can you give me a link?

I looked at your photo. It was in dire need of POP So I gave it some, and uploaded my corrected version to your gallery.

Here's our tutes on Pop:

Sorry, when people start talking about images and photos, but don't post a link, my curiosity gets the best of me

EDIT: Andy, you did a great job on that one

I wish I could create something like that. I have no artistic ability. We had a guy who does caricatures in our area do it. He also did one for our wedding as well.

Andy, what exactly did you do to spruce that picture up?

Thanks

Magic.

And sorry, but Merlin doesn't reveal his formulas. Legend has it he can also make a large portion of ribs disappear.

Josh - follow the links I gave our O.P., just above. You'll find two tutorials on "Pop" - read them. I use a very simple black and white point setting, to broaden the tonal range of this file. It made a HUGE difference.
