PHOTOGRAPH IMAGE QUALITY

 

All photographs were taken on the camera at 7Million pixels and stored as .jpeg files of dimensions 3072 x 2304.  Camera source files are over 3Mbytes (available with the BUY Copyright option) and, without loss of resolution, generally the computer .jpeg files are in the range 0.5-1.6Mbytes.

 

  • I have tested having photographs enlarge, up to A1 size (594 x 841mm), which is quite a large poster, and the resolution and crispness of lines is excellent.  You have to get to within a few inches to be able to see that the image is digitised, which, of course, is a property of the poster printer’s processes as well as the photographer’s.

 

 

PHOTOGRAPH/POSTER PRINTING & FRAMING

 

  • YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO IT YOURSELF?

 

There are large number of printers on the internet who will receive a .jpeg file and post an enlarged photograph/poster to any address requested.  Prices vary a great deal.  In the U.K., for example, a large A1 (594 x 841mm) poster can cost between £20 - £35 to print a single copy, including VAT and postage, and considerably less for smaller sizes.  Postage can be quite expensive and in the U.K. the Royal Mail limits poster sized tubes to A1 size, so larger sizes have to be sent by special delivery.

 

There are a wide variety of options, for example, about paper/card/other material quality and weight, about surface finish, about borders, and much else.  Prices can be several hundred pounds for the more exotic options.  Generally there is a premium to be paid for rapid turnaround (‘order placed’ to ‘with customer’), which can as little as next-day to about a week.

 

Similarly, “picture frames” will produce many suppliers on the internet.  Prices range, for A1 clips frames with a plastic “glass” from under £20 to around £50 for wooden or metal frames (and, of course, very much more).  Of course, you have to put the photograph/poster in the frame yourself.  You can find companies who will print, mount, frame and post your photograph, but in many cases they are not the cheapest option.
