I said 'up to 24"' at 250 dpi but didn't mean to imply that you needed
to go that large. If it will do up to 24" it will certainly do 18" at
greater than 200dpi.

Then I would also suggest that you try making one by
resizing up to 250ppi and let the software handle interpolation. See
which one is better.

Please see the extract at the

image height of 1165 pixels to fit a 6" high space. That's only 194
pixels per inch which is a rather low resolution for a print. I would
suggest 250 ppi for a largish print like this and even higher for a
smaller print. Chuck Norcutt

1165
pixels is about half the short axis pixel size of my E-3 Large Fine
image dimension. I reasoned that if I am to maintain the correct
proportions, and the long axis is 3648 pixels, that's what it needs to
be. I've sent the order off, so we shall see. this week. Sent to

And note that there is
another option. Right now (IIRC) you are using panorama software not to
make a panorama but to stack the two images.
You could also use the
panorama software to make each of the stacked images a true panorama.
If you overlap the two halves of the pano by 1/3 their width that
would give you an image that's approximately 6078 pixels wide. That
would allow prints up to 24" wide at 250ppi with no interpolation.
Almost all of my landscapes these days are panoramas of 2-3 images or
more. One can make panoramas in the vertical direction as well but
that's rather rare for me.
Chuck Norcutt
Thanks Chuck; but the
largest print size <my> lab does in-house is 12 x 18 inches. Longer
panoramas they send out.
I'm happy at this point in time to make haste
slowly and see how things pan out ( no pun intended).
It's not all
that cheap for me to do this stuff; the last order ( one day ago) cost
me $80; 8 x 12 x 5 at $8 = $40. Two 12 x 18 at $20 = $40. But by using
this technique and cutting to make these 6 x 18 inch prints they will
cost me just $10 each ...
Which is more better to my way of thinking
:-)
QUOTE START from "my" photo lab.
Lab Specifications
We print
utilising Agfa's state-of-the-art D-Lab.2 & D-Lab.3 digital
laboratories. These labs use the standard sRGB colour space.
Although
the labs use a printing resolution of 400dpi, there is no need for you
to interpolate upwards to meet this resolution, as this occurs
automatically when we send the file for printing. In fact, interpolating
is discouraged as the D-Lab's hardware interpolation is superior to
software interpolation.
The prints you will receive are real
photographs, on actual photographic paper. We do not use inkjet,
dye-sub, or any other means of printing. Quality is assured, and is in
direct relation to the quality of the image you provide.

Cheers, Brian
