I'm not sure I'd go even that big. The original was twice that resolution and had a lot less JPEG artifacting. Actually... you might be going about this all wrong. If you really want to use this to produce a very large physical print, I would consider embracing that the original image is smudgy by upsampling it (maybe to 7200x3600 if not 14400x7200 after cropping it to 2:1) and then applying some of gimp's artistic filters to achieve a look that is more "painting" than "photograph". This will make some of the lack of quality in the original irrelevant. At least give it a try digitally; if you don't like the result, all you've lost is some time. Also, make sure you save the result at least as a JPEG with 98% to 100% quality, if not PNG. -- Matthew _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
