Big Can You Print People often ask how large a print can be made with Perfect Resize If your original image is sharp has good details and little noise you could go as large as 1000 of the original size 1000 is ten times the size of the original file For example an original file that is 8 x10 could be resized to 80 x100 Viewing distance plays a big part of this Standard viewing distances are two times the diagonal of a print For example for an 8 x10 it would be about two feet away An 80 x100 would be about 21 feet That seems like a lot but that image is almost 7 x9 Keep in mind that many photographers scrutinize their images closer than standard viewing distances Images are perceived in color tonality and sharpness Other interpolation techniques maintain color and tonality but sacrifice sharpness by inflating the image uniformly The image still looks familiar but will not be crisp Depending on the amount of interpolation this can be severe and noticeable even at standard viewing distances Perfect Resize maintains the color tonality and sharpness of an image at all sizes It will always look the same when viewed at the proper distances It is unrealistic to assume that the fidelity when viewed at 100 will be the same for an 8x10 and an 80x100 created by Perfect Resize Perfect Resize will maintain the edges which perceptually make the image sharp but it cannot create detail where there was none in the past When the shutter is p
