ok so ive got the shot ...now what

[robhullfury]

I have taken a few droplet shots recently and im looking to get them printed up. maybe a small pic/canvas for the walls of my house.

what do I have to look for to ensure the pics come out as I have seen them on the screen! when I send them off to the printers and get resized will they go grainy etc when stretched from screen size to A3 for instance?

could somebody explain what I need to do or do I have to check settings on elements/cs3 etc. what do I need to have dpi set too etc and how do I change it?

if I simply upload a photo to snapfish etc for instance and say I want this A3 will it come out the same as how I upload it?

thanks
rob

Don't do any resizing as that will affect the detail, just stick to cropping, retouching etc... To make sure it looks the same on print and screen you need to get your monitor calibrated with something like a spyder 3 or equivalent.

I was more worried that the image would become grainy or loose quality by blowing it up to a larger size. I might just send it off see how it comes back.

Thanks mate

I'd recommend Lee at www.togsprint.com, had some prints done at A3 size from a canon 350d and they are superb
