largest size print from raw image ?

i got a nice group shot of my nephew and a few of his friends on the side line
of there football game 2 weeks ago.
i would like to have it printed out the biggest size print possible where it
would still look good .

as a full size raw image @ 16 bit the file size as a tiff is 38 mb , @ 8 bit it
can be saved as 2-3 mb jpeg .
the link below is the jpeg down to 72 res .

ive printed it out @ sams club as an 8x0 and it looks great .

anyone recamend a place for big prints ? and way to go about it, send large
tiff on cd?

Well....we need to know the number of pixels to be more precise...and a lot
depends on how its printed, how good your eyes are, and how high your
standards...but it looks like about a 5 mp camera so you should be happy
with an 11x14...with the use of a product like Genuine Fractals or using
other techniques you could even get a decent poster.

While there are rules for this, then tend to fall apart at about 11x14.
People don't look at a 30x40 print as closely as they do a 4x6 so you can
have a much lower pixel count at the larger sizes. Try making one 8x10 foot
and you will see what I mean.

I do not know if they will use RAW. Send best quality JPG and they will tell
you if the size you want will do.

Gene,

I am so tired of hearing that you cant get good looking large images from 6 mp
cameras. I am going to go ahead and put my money were my mouth is Heres the
deal. I will give you a
FREE 24x36 dye print from your Jpeg file. (I am assuming it is 2000x3000
resolution roughly)

All i need is your file e-mailed to me, and your address and I will send it out
the next day for sure.

In return for this I would like you to come back and post about the qualty..
sound fair?

Hope that Helps!
