Hi, I have an image I have taken that I want to increase the detail on. This is the image, its a big file so be careful!

Im wondering, instead of hiring a medium or large format rig, can i just bolt my 70-300mm on the camera, attach tripod, and do a series of shots and then, using photoshop, stitch them to create the same image, but with masses of detail when zoomed in!? 12mp from an 18mm lens from nearly a mile away obviously isnt good enough! I have however managed to enlarge it from 300dpi to 900dpi without any (that i can see) loss in image quality using bicubic smoother in CS5.

Thanks!
 
No link. Yes you take many images and stich them. There is dedicated software to do. The technique is commonly known as gigapixel. There have been several over the last few days from the Royal wedding. One was a 200 MP image or something like that.

Hello,
I downloaded this stiching program the other day to experiment with.
It's free and does a pretty good job. Easy to use too.
You don't need to tell the program where each frame has to go - it works out the correct positions for the individual frames :cool:

The install may ask to install some additional runtime libraries, but just follow the instructions during installation.
