photoshop skills required

[Neil - UK]

can anyone help me here, I'm wanting to have this pic (original size 2Mb) made into a 30" poster print

this shot was a taken in a studio but it hasnt turned out brilliantly, I guess there's a bit of skill needed to getting it ready for print

Ask the photographer to make you one from the negative (unless it was digital?).

BTW, when you blow pictures up, they lose a lot of quality. The only way you would be able to blow it up that large and not lose any quality is if it were a vector image (from what I know).

it was digital Austin, photographer used a 30D

A UK member used this service below for 30" poster (you need to scroll down)

Neil,

There used to be a software plugin for Photoshop made ny Altimira group that compressed the image into a fractal equation and then could recalculate the image into any size without any pixelization, their website was http://www.altamira-group.com/, I don't know if they are still in business, but do a few searches , maybe you can use something similar

It would help if you had the actual digital negative. Do you know if the 30D was set to its highest resolution and was shooting in RAW? If it was, this could probably be blown up nicely.

Like KEast mentioned, if you have the digital negative (seeing as it was a 30D), this would work as well.

Looks like TWO 30DD's to me

But seriously, e-mail [email protected], he helped blow up a Viper photo of mine that I wanted made into a 24x30 poster and it came out beautifully. All I did was email him the photo and he sent me back a MUCH bigger version that Wolf Camera was able to enlarge into a poster print. p.s.--Wal-Mart (and the company send out their big work too) was unable to do it for some reason, so don't waste your time trying them.

I cleaned the floor a little bit and added a circular gradient fade to fill in the blank spaces around the edges. hope u like it
