>>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
