I have been asked by a friend to enlarge one of my shots to fill a large space on a wall. The pic (cropped) is 5462 wide by 3641 pixels high. She wants it printed to be at least 1m wide. I know that will be at a relatively low ppi. So I followed these steps:
I took the pic from Lr to Ps, resized to the required size (let's use 120cm by 80cm as an example) without any rescaling, giving me about 115ppi. When viewed on screen using the "print size" option the ruler along the top edge is correct against my tape measure so I figure this is what the print should look like and the quality looks perfectly acceptable. Once I go up to 150 by 100 @92ppi it starts to look slightly iffy.
Either way, this is much better than I expected so I wondered if I had done something wrong...?
