printing Canon S2IS pictures

[tomer_zimmermann]

Hi.

I'm using the CANON S2IS camera on 2592X1944 resolution and quality

set on Fine.

What's the biggest size i can print the pictures without the

pixelization being obvious to unarmed eye?

thanks

That depends upon the viewing distance. Only you can decide what is too big by way of test prints.

It also depends on if you interpolate the file to maintain 300 dpi in the printing process. Without I would say 8.5 x6.5 simply by dividing the pixels you have by 300, Commercial printers not using Inkjet process I would use 200dpi which gives you a 12.5 x 9.5 inch print

With interpolation I would expect to print at A3 size on an inkjet, and assuming that with a larger print it is not viewed so closely you can go even larger.

while the answer given above is the true correct answer, I'll say that you should be able to do an 8x10 as a baseline maximum. granted, this is contingent upon your using good technique and a low ISO setting. Exposure and focusing problems, along with noise, become more apparent as the print gets bigger.

I would have to disagree, if the photo was taken with low iso, etc, you should be able to go to about 11x14. But then again you never know until you get it printed.
