Hi all,
OK..I’m off overseas in 5 weeks time and I’d like to come home, make a panorama pic using PS7 (or the stitch software that came with my Canon A70), get it printed at approx 3×1 feet (not sure of exact size), get it professionally framed and finally hang it on my lounge room wall! Seems simple?..well, here’s my questions:
1. As I can only take pics using jpeg I estimate the file size of each shot of the panorama to be around 3 mb. I will probably take around 5-6 shots to make the final panorama. After stitching the pics together should I save as jpeg or tiff? (I’m thinking tiff)
2. In PS should I then resize the pic at 200 or 300 pixels per inch ? (I’ve just read a previous thread where it was suggested that 200 would be ok, ( as the pic will be viewed from 5-6 feet away)
3. In PS I would assume "constrain proportions" should be ticked?
4. What is the most suitable resample setting…bicubic, bilinear, nearest neighbor? (I’m thinking bicubic)
5. Assuming I save the resulting file to a cd and take it along for professional printing how do I guarantee that the printed image will be as I see it on my monitor? I was told some time ago from the woman at my local printers that I could just print my pic out at home, (before resizing it on my computer) and if happy with the colours etc bring it in to them and they would do the resizing and printing. Is this the best option?
Many thanks in advance…I do appreciate and value the help from this newsgroup. I probably won’t be going overseas again for many years, so I’d like to get it right (lol)
