Click here to learn more. This chart outlines how big you can blow up your digital pictures. This chart was created and sent to us by one of our students. To use this chart find the resolution of your image and multiply it to find out how many megapixels the image is.

It should be noted that the image enlargement size recommendations above are on the conservative size and will allow for optimal enlargement capabilities with the best and crispest possible picture. However, you can still blow your photographs up further if you don't mind loosing a little bit of crispness. For example you can enlarge a megapixel print to Better yet, you can blow up a 10 megapixel print to 20x30 for a good quality print. There is some relationship between print sizes and the megapixels.

Look at a billboard from a distance. It looks bright and sharp. Can you take a guess what is the dpi dots per inch at which it may have been printed? About 72! The minimum distance at which a billboard is seen is more than 20 feet. At that distance it is impossible to notice the pixels. If there is a picture on a wall and you are looking at it from a distance of say one meter, the ideal dpi is A magazine is normally printed at a resolution of dpi.

Enough said about dpi but what is the relation between dpi and megapixels? What is the perfect megapixels count that can give you that dpi resolution without burning a lot of useless megapixels? Multiply x 8 that gives us pixels and multiply 12 x that gives us The first option is the only choice if you wish to make borderless prints. Otherwise, attractive prints can be made by allowing between 5mm and about 35mm depending on the paper size borders around the picture.

When printing from editing software it is easy to set the size of the image on the paper, ensure it is centrally positioned and determine the size of the margins around the picture. However, be careful when using this function, especially on shots from digicams, because any defects in the image particularly unsharpness and compression or sharpening artefacts will be magnified and the result could be a fuzzy-looking print.

Different image editors provide varying levels of control over output size. With the simplest applications, many functions are automated and, therefore, hidden from the user, although you can usually set the position of the image on the paper and determine its width and height. Some examples of user interfaces are shown below. As well as being able to match the image size to the paper size, they can also crop shots, access the printer driver and produce multiple copies.
