I have this photo that i think came out nice and i want to print it. Not in a small format like a4 but more like 3 to 4 feet across. Ive looked it up online but all the talk of dpi, upscaling and interpolaring has got me confused. Can anybody walk me through the basics of large format printing?

from what i've been told, Zack aka zbphoto knows a lot about printing. send him a PM with this thread URL and ask for help.

As far as resolution, ya its gonna say "you need atleast 350 DPI to print or something like that." Simply just open it up in PS or whatever you use and click on image size. It will tell you the dimensions including resolution. Then just follow the websites instructions

I don't know that much about printing, haha. I ussually just hand my lab huge files and they do their magic. I have an inkjet but it's barely cheaper to do it my self, my lab with print gallery size too.
