Darrell: One Des Moines River 18 x 36 is JPEG, 250ppi, 3.71 MB
I have a stitched scene that is 90 x 18 JPEG, 250ppi, 7.12MB (I haven't tried to have this one printed, yet. The Mississippi River mural is a TIF image, 195MB. I don't know the ppi on that one, but it's at least 250, if not higher. The major problem isn't the length of the picture, but getting it mounted. Many framing shops can't handle something that long. I asked on this list about mounting the photos on Masonite (pegboard), but the general consensus was that it's not a good idea, so I stuck with Foamcore. I would like to mount them on something a little more flexible, for curved backdrops, and I'm open to ideas. Incidentally, the photos at East and West Bonaparte are mirror images of the same Des Moines River location Bob Nicholson _______________________________________ --- In [email protected], "Darrell" <darrell.ev.smith@...> wrote: > > Bob, > > some details, please?
