Hello-
I'm struggling with the math here, never having one of my photos printed so large before. Basically wondering if it's even possible to get there from "here".
My original (an hdr, if that matters) is 5847 x 3757 (original before slight crop was 5989 x 3996.
The museum who wants to use my photo, wants to print it at 5' wide. Is that possible? I'm not sure of the viewing distance since they haven't gotten back to me yet, but they said it would be on a wall.
When I asked them some questions, this is what they came back with:
Basically, we need the image in as big a file as you can manage. Preferably a .tif file. The resolution you are able to provide will drive the size of the final image. The bigger the better; the bigger file, the sharper it will be.
Can I get my original to print at that size and still look good? I'm new to printing large, so be gentle Or, can it only print at whatever 5847 is, scale-wise?
Thanks! And, they just told me they need the image today, so if you can help out, that'd be great!
