I'm printing out a large family shot, with about 30 people in it and i had to crop the image to get it into a panoramic ratio. I'm printing out the canvas 20x40, and i was wondering if 127.9 DPI would be enough for sufficient detail? Should i upsize it first? Thanks Depends on the level of detail you want... but if you already have the image, nothing you can do about it. Don't bother resizing it, most printers do a better job than you do (when smugmug uses bay or ezprint, they use lanczos resizing to get to the printer's preferred size, and lanczos>>>>>>fractals>>bicubic) I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Dynamite is right here - generally viewing distance is a few feet as you normally blow your image up quite large. You'd actually be surprised about what you can get away with on canvas - we get some really good results with JPEGs as low as 1mb blown up to 60 x 85cm! Obviously if you have larger files you can get pin sharp images on canvas contrary to the believe that the texture dulls the print quality... Kerry
