Printing Panoramics / large files online

I'm hitting a limitation with my two main companies I use, Photobox and Snapfish. I have a large file (24mb) pano to print. Snapfish have a limitation in that the software online doesn't "suggest" you put the pano picture inside a bigger picture if you see what I mean, it tries to drop the ends off. Photobox does this part right so you could print the pano inside a bigger picture then cut off the white edges afterwards. However, they have a 10mb file size limit for upload.

Does anyone have recommendations for any other company where what I am trying to achieve may be possible. Printing large file size panoramics.

How about expanding the canvas of your photo so that it has white space top and bottom (or even a second panoramic - two prints for the price of one! ), sized so that it fits Snapfish's paper, and just upload that?

Hi,

try Bonus Print..

Sizes here..

Re cropping, you choose whether you want to lose any of the print or have white borders, when you order. I've just had a look around, and I can see no file size limit in any FAQ. I've printed A3 with them (a letter box crop rather than a Panoramic), and the quality is very good for a 6mb file, so a 24mb file in A1 should be easy..

HTH

Cheers
