A Quick Question...

Is this picture worth trying to get a framed print (and what size)? I'm finding conflicting information on maximum print sizes based on picture resolution. The picture is 2048 X 1536, and 72 dpi both horizontal and vertical. The original picture is posted above, too. Any idea as to how big this will print.

From when I worked at Jiffy Lube many years ago, F*&^ that exhaust.

Enlarged? Doubtful. It will just pixelate and look like crap.

You could certainly get it printed though. Try FedEx/Kinos and see how large it prints first.

Enlarged was the wrong word. I'm just trying to figure out how big this will print as is before taking it to a print shop.

Maybe this will help.

2084 divided by 72 = width in inches. 1536 divided by 72 = height in inches.

Which comes out to about 28.9 inches wide and 21.3 inches high.

But at 72 dpi, it would look pretty pixelated; think iPhone screen before retina display.

If you print it at 250 dpi, you'll get a print sized at 8.3 wide by 6.1 inches high, but the print will look a lot more clear.

There must be a story?

That's good information.

I've been doing some more investigating , and have seen that while there is a huge difference between 50 PPI and 100 PPI for full sized prints, there isn't much of a difference between 100 PPI and 150 PPI, and even less of a difference between 150 PPI and 250 PPI for full scale prints. Does this comparison seem reasonable?

If that's the case, it looks like I would be able to get this image printed as an 8x10, and still be over 150 PPI by a fairly good margin.

The oil filter is pretty much wrapped in exhaust pipes.

And with big hands and the fact that cars came in hot, it was like reaching into a fire and grabbing a hot coal.

Ah, yes. That's been fixed now.
