Gorgeous photos. Don’t count on printing big.

Beautiful shots, I really like the first one. If you want big try Topaz Gigapixel

First things first. For me, the sun spots are distracting. Although I haven't measured the RGB channels I would suspect that it's blown completely out (no pixels to recover). I would edit out those spots. Next, the IPhone 11 shoots a 12 megapixel file. The largest I have had printed with my IPhone is 16x24, @150 dpi. Think about what you are going to do with the image and what the viewing distance will be. If it will be hung in a room and you are viewing it from several feet away it should be fine. Currently, I have 2 16 x 24 prints hanging on my wall side by side. One is from my Nikon D7000 the other from my wife's IPhone 8 Plus. They both look great!

You could go at least 8 x 10. I’ve read that members here have gotten larger if you know what you’re doing and that was with an older style iPhone.

You can take the sun spots out easily with the spot healing brush, the clone stamp, or the patch tool in Photoshop.

I like the first image where the sunspot added to but didn't overwhelm the scene. For my taste, the sunspots were just too overwhelming in the other three images. You may have a different opinion especially since they may have a special meaning for you. The lens flare in the third image is easily removed with most image processing applications.

In the 1st image, there is a haze that makes the image look a little flat. I would do a little post-processing on the image, increasing contrast and doing a little dodge and burn, especially on the trees in the right foreground and the the mid-ground landscape on the left bank of the river to bring out more of the foliage detail and colors. Also, I would consider slightly darkening the water in the river.

The haze is a common artifact when shooting into a bright light like the sun. It may be caused by a dirty lens on the phone.

You've limited your print size since you cropped/reduced your image size from 12 megapixels to 3 megapixels. You're current image size is 2048x1536. Printing at around 200dpi, you can make a good 8x10. You can go larger if the general viewing distance is a little further away, such as hanging on a wall behind a piece of furniture. An alternative is to use gigapixel to increase image size by 2x or more if you want to print larger or increase detail.

If the original image is in the native camera resolution of 4032x3024 and you print at 200ppi, then you can easily print a 20x16" print without enlarging. Gigapixel would still be a good alternative if you wanted to print larger than this with a close viewing distance.

Hope this helps

I'm well aware of how to..... I didn't know the editing skills of Home Brewer,so I was merely commenting the spots were a distraction for me.

FYI: you could also try Content Aware Fill on those spots.

Mike thanks for the ideas

if the distracting spots on the water that Fotoartist thinks are ones that are distracting they are water birds. When enlarged there is no detail. I will remove them if I decide to print. FWIIW I am not skilled using Lightroom or photoshop

What is the best way to import iPhone photos to the PC. I think the method I used shrank the size

I use the USB cord that came with my IPHone 13 Pro Max. Once it is connected to my PC, Apple will show up as one of my drives. From there it's just a matter of moving to a folder on my PC. I also use Amazon Photos to backup my Photos from my phone and from there, I can download what image I want to work on. What method are you using?
