>>I've been printing the DMR's 10MP files at 12" x 18"
(@300 dpi) with fantastic results, so I don't think the 14MP will be
all that important for 11" x 14" prints. I've even printed a cropped
file at 14" x 18", and considering the picture's size if it had not
been cropped, it would have been 20" x 30" - and it still looks great!
Charlie Falke asked in response to Doug Herr comment::
>>Doug,
I'm curious how you do that.<<<
Hi Charlie,
I'm not answering for Doug. But I
make all kinds of prints, colour & B&W on 13X19 size paper.
Most have some cropping, not much. Generally 12"X18" photo size with no
problems and clients continue to have wet pants with excitement when
they see the prints. Actually I've been more than once amazed at the
quality myself, and do you know what? I haven't got a clue how it is
done.:-)
I do most of the in computer
tweaking on auto... if it looks cool? Great! I leave it alone, save and
print!!
I've done it that way with the
Digilux 2, Canon 20D, Rebel XSi, M8 and I can't remember some other
sort of misfit digi camera.:-)
The M8 prints are truly quite
amazing time after time.
But then I'm not a techie so I have
no idea how any of these things work. The only thing that counts in the
end? The people paying the bill are as happy as all get out and I'm
proud of the results! KISS!
And yes I do understand the higher
the Megapixals the better the quality of the print! That doesn't have
anything to do with the quality of the content of the picture!
I still believe too many people get
hung up on the numbers and forget about the content image quality, not
all. I never think about much of the techie stuff very simply because
I'm a photographer first and techie 2nd! And as long as clients keep up
the praise and pay the bills nothing else matters!
Not sure if this answered your
intended question?
cheers,
ted
