Printing Panoramas through SmugMug

ballentphoto

Unless I missed it, I do not see a way to get panoramas printed through SmugMug.... Is this correct? or did I miss something. Just got back from Sedona and I would love the chance to get them printed through here, but they are huge (29 inches across). TIA

Hi

Yes, you can! But you have to "trick" things a bit.

Option 1: print on 24x36, 18x24, or similar size, "no-crop."

Option2: print 2-up, and save some money

Option 2 requires a bit of photoshop knowledge.
1. make a new document, equal to the size of the paper you are printing on, 300dpi
2. copy the photo onto the document twice, use the move tool in photoshop to position the photos.
3. flatten, save as JPG.
4. upload, and print.
5. finished product will need to be cut, there will be two prints on one page.

Thanks for the tips That will be helpful for me to print them, but customers may not be too happy to need to cut the print out and I do not own a 30" paper cutter ("Honey I need some more gear" )
