Putting a pet photo onto canvas.....
Hi,
I want to get my mate Oscar put onto a canvas print. This is the photo: IMG_4194-4 by Philip Davies, on Flickr I have some questions... How can I improve it? How big do you think I can go? - I was thinking A3, but don't want to sacrifice definition.......

I don't think the image would withstand A3. The image resolution is 72 ppi (pixels per inch). To get a good A3 print the ppi figure would need to be a minimum of 150 (newspaper quality) or for good quality, 300.
I did try downloading the image and enlarging it and it very quickly lost definition. Last edited by stevestrat; 19th January 2019 at 09:57.. |

Thanks for that.
That's a shame. My camera is 18mp. So I guess to do a3, I would need a near on 40mp camera? How big do you think I could go?

Depends what the camera setting are, may be set for quantity rather than quality or on a middling "average" quality. The lower the resolution the more photos can be stored on a card. Have a look in the instructions or poke about in the menu for picture quality or whatever they choose to call it.

It's set for highest quality.
Maybe Flickr reduces the photo quality?

I've just opened the image in photoshop and it says the image is 300ppi?

Is the original in your laptop or whatever? Try opening the picture up and even just zooming in, see how long it retains definition. When I tried I didn't zoom in far before the edges became "fuzzy".
I'll have a word with Jeff (coolcat), point him to this thread, he's professional photographer. |

Although hard to gauge, when it's zoomed in it looks bigger than A3.

What do you think to the colour balance? On my laptop, it looks ok, but on my phone it looks too yellow.
