Ditto on Joe/s post about Gigapixel. When it was introduced, I didn't believe Topaz's claims, and downloaded the free trial, and was very impressed with the results. Check out the free trial and see if it works for you.

Here's a link to a good review from a respected photographer: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/topaz-ai-gigapixel-review/


Thanks yssirk123, I can't wait to check that out. Appreciate your time.

Not necessarily so. Go back up and read Gene's post on viewing distance.


Thank you. I am taking in every bit of info from everyone. I will know way more than I did before I asked the question.

You’re camera is quite capable of producing large prints. The larger prints are printed at a lower dpi (fits per inch). You can go poster sized too. Here is an interesting video.

Hey SVP, I am anxious to view that video. Thanks for your time.

While not adding high fidelity "detail", I would venture to say that for most people, interpolated pixels, micro-contrast and questionably perceived "artifacts" are more attractive and acceptable than ragged pixelation - maybe the lesser of two evils ? - but I could be wrong - just sayin'

Thanks imagemeister. I am pondering that, and will probably make more sense to me after I digest everyone's information.

Your D500 images will, given that you take sharp well-done images, be able to be enlarged beyond the 1:1 ratio of the camera. You can do this in a number of software programs, including LrC and PS if you have the Adobe plan. If you go to an outside printer, like Bay Photo, they can assist you with specific information. Normally, with an outside printer, you would simply load the largest file you have. In actuality, often it does not take a really large file to create a quality print in larger sizes, depending on the image quality and the print size.

Thank you. I am encouraged.

I would use a program like "ON1 Resize" to enlarge the photo you want to print larger. With it you can get larger prints that retain good detail.


I am anxious to check that out. Thanks.

The answer is found in Gene51’s response and posted link.
“ its all about viewing distance and human visual acuity” says it all!

Have heard that from several UHHer's. Will study that thoroughly.

Gene's exactly right. It is a combination of resolution, size and viewing distance. There are entire billboards that have photos taken with an iPhone. That is misleading because one views billboards from a longer distance away and cannot see the pixelization. It is no different than looking at mosaics in churches in Europe. They look like fine paintings at a distance, but up close one can easily see the smaller bits of tile. The same is true with photos. Or go up at 2 inches and look at your tv.

This is kinda why some of the super high resolution cameras really are an overkill for many people.

THank you. Feeling very encouraged by all. Thanks for your time.

Yes, that is a valid point.

Since my Epson only printed 24" wide, I always just had my customers send me the photo cropped to the size they wanted at 300 dpi and never had any issues. When I did, it was because they cropped the photo and didn't check the dpi and it was something less, like 72.


Sound like the 300 dpi is used a lot. Thanks

That is not right either. They can not send you a photo at 72dpi. DPI is printer resolution, not photo res. Photo res is ppi. A Photo 6000x4000 is 24,000,000/24 meg. you can print the photo at 1 dpi or 300 dpi and the res of 3000x4000 does not change. What changes is the printed image res. It will look different printed at different DPI and viewing at different distances.

As I said, go back up and read Gene's post. I believe this is the site he listed. If not thisa is good reading.

FYI: Anytime a question like is asked of UHH, the OP should post his image with best resolution , without any PP. Leave the EXIF info intact or post it along with the picture. Otherwises, we are going to be throwing ideas against the metaphorical wall to see what sticks. OP: you camera should take the cell phone to the cleaners if your settings / lens is optimal.

Hey Alan, I didn't have any specific photo in mind, only concepts that I needed to understand. Have gotten lots of info, and many good websites. I will know way more than I did before I asked the question. Some info in understandable, some confuses me, but all in all I appreciate it all. I also like when the pro's questionable each other. It is all a learning tool for me, and thankful for UHHer's answering questions they may get tired of answering. Thanks to all
