You do not have to do any math. Just set the short side and rez to what you want. Use Bicubic Smoother in Photoshop. Better would be to upsize the image from the RAW file, of course if you upsize from RAW you get to reedit the image. You can probably get away with a 19x15 or 19.5x15.5 inch image size. No need to go borderless as it will most likely be matted down to that anyway.
You are going to about have to double the size of the image (4x file size) but that ought to come out OK. You could probably get away with 200ppi, but 240ppi would look a bit better. Ignore any advice to go to 300 or 360 ppi, it is not really needed for an image under glass that is not going to be viewed with someones nose against it. Have fun, and remember most things are simple if we do not try to make them complicated. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- David J Brooks wrote: > I can't seem to fiqure out the math on this and don't want to quess, > but can anyone tell me what size i need to uprez a 2000 x 1300 file to > print 16x20. > > If a 2.74 D1H file can be resized that big. > > A client wants this size for her company wall. > > Dave > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
