Hello all,
Here is a link to a small version of an image I recently made by stitching 5 images together to make this panorama. I have upsized this image to 18128x5100 pixels. I will print this image this coming weekend on my new Epson 4000. Should have it by this Friday. I am going to print it at 17"high by 60" wide. That works out to be 300 ppi. Now I know you cannot see what it will look like so you'll have to trust me. I will report what it looks like in terms of sharpness, color and overall impact from a normal viewing distance one would experience in a gallery. I have done a lot of "processing" on this image to get it to this point.This includes stitching, healing brush, color enhancement, noise reduction twice, sharpening and upsizing using Genuine Fractals. The final image is 277 MB at 8 bit color depth. The original 5 images were from my *istD using FA 28 and RAW. I carefully converted with CS RAW in 16 bits and converted to 8 bits while stitching. This has been a fun project and I am very excited to see the final results printed very large.
Comments welcome.
