I sent a digital file off to the camera shop (Helix) for a big print. They had a special offer on a 24x36 inkjet print on their new machine. I sent them a 6.5 meg jpeg, roughly 5,000 by 3,000 pixels. It was the curve pano I had assembled a few weeks ago.
The final result is nice, but a little disappointing. The original had plenty of detail, enough for the 24x36. The resulting print loses something in the bright orange at the middle of the print. There is a central maple tree in full fall colors. The jpeg shows some color variations. The print has some larger areas (1 inch blotches) where the color is very consistent and all detail disappears. I know you all can't see this, but any words of wisdom? Should I expect better? I have a nice $30 poster size print, but can I get better that this at a reasonable price? Regards, Bob S.
