Re: High Res image output

Hello Jeff,

Resampling my picture is not exactly what i had in mind, I am really talking about resolution and not size, since a picture of 2500 x 3500 pixels is about what i need for a professional letter (A4) size printout.

Whatever the final outputting size, i will always need 300 dots per inch (publishing industry standard res), while a screen resolution is 72 dots per inch.

There lies the gap... For example, a screenshot on Powerbook 15.2" at 72dpi, converted to 300dpi, gives a final size of 11 cm x 7 cm. My goal is to produce a 42 cm x 30 cm final picture, at 300dpi, without resampling - pure pixel for pixel. I can very well afford to lose velocity, since i am computing still images!

This explain my earlier idea of displaying only a part of the picture before screen-shoting. But, M. Latour, couldn't we have this somehow automated inside the program, adding an option to export .tif or .png?

Thank you none the less for making me discover rasterbator, which is actually a very cool piece of software!

Hello,

For printing large format images, you may want to try a free program called "rasterbator." You can download it here: http://arje.net/rasterbator or if you don't have a PC, you can use the web service here:http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

It will take a "normal" sized image and blow it up to even wall sized dimensions.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

- J
