Cheers Peter

Is 500 PPI a safe option then for a fairly decent size?

All the best...

Some of your motorsport and doc style work that you did achieve with the Pentax system is admirable

the very best of luck

Guys

For the last decade I have exported all my photos from Lightroom into folders as JPGs - set to the highest standard and around 500 DPI (although I have played with this int between 300 and 800)

Im going to printing photos to a fairly large size for an exhibition next year. Thanfully I havent started the project yet so i can start off the right way

What settings should I be favouring for printing?

- should I export a tif or can i keep with JPg?
- should I sharpen for "screen" "mat"
- should I crop using the padlock open or closed?
- what DPI is best for a fairly large print - A1 size for eg

Also...

Really embarassing newb question....

Do you print from a negative to get the best size / quality in analogue or do you still export from LR?


All comments welcome!
