| I have been searching for the right picture for quite some time. I found what I was looking for in a JPEG image. How can I have that image made into a quality print suitable for framing? Something about the size of 20 x 24? Someone said that the image, since it is so small would be to "grainy" if it was enlarged. I know nothing about photography and was looking for any thought or suggestions
p.s. I would really like to have it painted in water color but that's for another thread. Thanks. |

| What is the size of the image? Right click on it, go to properties, and find the AAAxBBB number. Multiply the two numbers together. That will yield a large number, and that is the number of individual pixels. Divide that by 1,000,000 to give you a megapixel count. In order to maintain a decent quality at that print size you would need a pretty large MP count, more than most images found on the web. Never having tried to print that large, I would ASSUME you would need at LEAST 7 million pixels for a decent quality result. Anything lower would likely give you a grainy image that you wouldnt be happy with. A |

| Grain can be a tool in photography..don't fall in with the portion of digital camera enthusiasts who are obsessed with the idea that all photographs must be pin sharp. The pointilistic look can be a form of expression and enhance many images. Experiment with grain, you might be surprised. |
