[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 356300, member: 16749"] What is the resolution of the cropped portion that you intend to use? How many pixels wide by how many pixels high? And how big a “mural” do your clients want to make of it? Really, the math is pretty simple. If your image is X pixels along one dimension, and your clients want the image to be rendered at a size that is Y inches along that dimension, then then the image will be rendered at X/Y pixels per inch (PPI). The image won't really lose quality as it is rendered at larger sizes. Someone standing back some distance from the mural-sized image, to have it fill the right amount of his field of view, will see the image at the same quality as if he were looking at it printed on a piece of paper, much closer, to fill about the same amount of his field of view. What difference will be noticeable will be to someone looking more closely at the mural-sized image, being able to see individual pixels. The PPI figure will have a lot to do with this. [/QUOTE]
