Update - Now upload high resolution photos for printing on photo.net!

<p>Hi William,<br>

thank you so much for your clear response! i too will be keeping the low res images in my portfolio; And i have just completed converting all my originals to full-size high res images in Photoshop. i was planning on uploading those full-size images to my For Sale folder, assuming the largest possible version is there for CanvasPop to decide which canvas sizes will work for a particular image, and so the buyer can chose a size from what CanvasPop condones. Do you think this is cool, uploading the biggest and highest? <br>

Also, William.. i don't know the difference between Adobe RGB and sRGB, always assuming the sRGB default.<br>

But you provoke another question, if i might; and that is, what is PNet cloud? and how does it work as a third public space? <br>

Your explanation helps a lot, William, and confirms what i should be doing! i apologize for my naivety about PNet cloud... </p>

 

<p>Oh and yes William... the Tags! Definitely the tags! ;-} </p>

<p>Glad I could help, Donna. Re your questions; Short answer, sRGB is the color profile associated with display on computer monitors, Adobe RGB (usually just called RGB) is the profile associated with printing. RGB is the profile you want for the file CanvasPop will have access to for printing.</p>

<p>Also, sorry I confused you with "PNet cloud". I made that up as kind of a tongue-in-cheek reference to the PNet storage system for the large high res prints. By the way, those prints are not for public access, only for PNet admin when providing files to CanvasPop for printing. Only your regular and "For Sale" folders have public access...</p>

<p>Understood, William! Sounds like my For Sale folder that contains hi res and max pixels should be ready for CanvasPop. And they are in RGB.<br>

Dah, i should have know PNet cloud is another way to refer to the forest where the elves work, LOL.<br>

If there's anything else i should know, i'm happy to listen! Thanks for the straight talk and your time... you've been great...</p>

<p>@ Glenn or whomever knows... <br>

is there anyone at CanvasPop that a PNer can contact about the res, pixels, doc size of an image before we put it up for sale on PN?</p>

<p>Donna, what I get from Glenn's posts is that there are two firm size limits: 6000x6000 pixels dimension, and 50MB file size. Assuming your image is at the max 6K X 6K pixels, you may have to play with the resolution (PPI) to avoid exceeding the max file size. Remember, just because you <em>can</em> upload at the max sizes doesn't necessarily mean you <em>should</em>. For example: Most of my high res uploads are around 5400 X 3700 pixels, 300 ppi resolution, file size around 21MB, 8-bit JPEG at max image quality (12). This should produce a max print size of about 38 X 59 inches, which is a pretty good size.</p>

<p>One factor to consider: It takes almost exactly 8 minutes to upload one of my high res files. At that rate, it would take almost 19 minutes to upload a 50MB file...</p>

<p>Awesome William! Thank you for "The Numbers." You've provided a solid framework in which sensible specs for prints can be made.... such a relief. Now if i can get the SS + A correct, someone will buy something, LOL. Thanks so much... Will give it a whirl!</p>
