google "upsizing digital images"... there are specialized programs to do what you want, as well as techniques in both PS and LR to do the same thing...

You may also want to consider stitching several shots into one in a panorama - be meticulous in the stitching though as the smallest mistake will be magnified many times if you go extra large image. You'd need to view the joints at least at the 1:1 magnification to see if your stitching program got it right. You will also need to get the settings right for panoramic shooting to minimize the colour and tone shift in the sky for example.

Would like to know if this has worked for others


I've been working on a landscape to have printed 40" wide later this year as a gift.

So far I've not been able to get my panoramic shots to work to my satisfaction.

I am going back the scene and try to compare a wide (17mm) shot to one which will be a stitch of three (max four) shots.

How much bigger do you want to go,
I've just had a 20x30 inch canvas printed, Edited with lightroom, changed the picture size to 16.9 and I limited the file size to 10MB,

works for me, and the picture looks very good on the wall.

This second picture was a 16x20inch canvas, again picture was at 16.9

Nice work, can you explain how i would do this in LR please?

Open the picture you want to edit, follow 1 and 2 in the screen shot below, once done click on done, if your not happy just click on edit, and click undo crop rectangle.

once you have finished editing your picture, when you go to export you can put a tick in the box "limit file size to" or adjust the quality to get the file size you want.

As I emailed my picture to the company which did my canvas, I was limited to email file size, that's why mine was set to 10mb
