Hi,
I've had a search on the site and I can't find anything recent on the forum.
I'd like to get my girlfriend a large print or canvas for Christmas but they're quite expensive so I want to get it right! Firstly, I'm using photos I've taken with my Nikon D5000 which I believe is 12 or 13 megapixels. Photos were shot in raw format. I use Aperture 3 on my iMac 27" for post production. So, what would be the biggest I could realistically print? And do you have any tips for PP of a raw photo, such as how much to sharpen etc. Or does this depend entirely on the photo? The photos are of a beach scene shot in bright but low sunlight. I'll upload a couple when I'm home and on my computer tomorrow.
Also, do you have any recommendations for who to use? There seems to be so many people offering printing services now. I don't want to be disappointed after spending quite a lot of money. I'm not yet sure whether I want a print I can frame or a canvas.
Thanks in advance.
Dan
