The first thing I do is run my RAW shot through Photoshop for size and make them 11x7+ or so, with 300 pixels not "72". Then work with lightening or darkening, then sharpness. (but not too much.) I then print an 8x10 on my printer and if the smallest part looks good enough to blow up I'll send it to Costco. The largest blow up would be 16x20 for an 18 mpxl camera, like the T3i. If I get a "warning" from Costco about grain I go smaller till the warning doesn't come up.
Thank you for your help, I don't use photoshop right now only picasa and my canon program. Once I learn more about getting the right settings on my camera I will get into post processing just started reading, Understanding Exposure.

Thank you, I am changing my settings, and hope this helps.

I tried to get them printed at Costco, and it would not accept them when I tried to select them the lady told me it would not print them because they were not good enough quality and would come out grainy. I did enlarge some before from my Rebel t2i with no problem, so I was surprised. I do need to check my settings I have not done that yet. Still learning Thanks for all your help.

Who told you that they would not print them? At what ISO were they set? Were they shot on a tripod or hand held? If on a tripod was IS off? Too many questions and not enough answers?
The iso was 400, yes I had it on a tripod and did forget to shut the IS off. I am new to manual and have been trying different settings, so hopefully I can figure things out. Thank you for helping.

This is a similar photo, 4.5 MB , resolution 72, focal length 494, aperture 5.63, iso 400 , jpeg in manual. Just getting into this so not sure if these are exactly the same but close.

I put a few photo's on a flash drive I took with my new canon 6d using a sigma 150/500 lens to be printed, I used picasa to change them a little and cropped them. I wanted 8"x10" prints and it would not print them because they told me they would come out grainy the photos were not good enough.
My question was it because I did not shoot them in raw, or did I crop them to much ? I am just learning a little bit about getting off of auto I was using manual setting.

I just bought, Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Exposure" on Amazon and glad I did it is helping me understand photography much better and I have only started reading it. I can now get off Auto and it is starting to make sense to me. I know I will be referring back to it until I have a better concept of everything. Great book.

Just received a canon 6D, and have not given it a fair chance yet, but I really hope I get used to it. I already am wondering if I should have stayed with a crop sensor upgrade, I was surprise my 150-500 lens does not reach very far compared to my rebel T2i. I bought this in a kit at a great price but still wondering.

I really like these Linda, the fog lends them a mystic beauty of forgotten cemetery's in the top three with the old weather worn headstones and unkempt surroundings, great shots. The last one is a combination of beauty with many of the old headstones standing tall with crosses among newer ones, the black and white with the angle and fog makes this a stand out shot.
