file size for print 2004-08-11 - By tonyno@(protected)

Naomi,
8 x 10 x 700 dpi would be 5600 x 7000. The jpg file size would depend on your
compression settings.
HTH,
Tony

Subject: [Carrara] file size for print
I'm having a bit of a problem with getting the picture I created in
Carrara to the guy who wants to print it out LARGE. First, I converted
it to a jpg at 150 dpi (using Irfanview). That file was 35 meg. He's
evidently on dial up and had trouble downloading it, and once done
couldn't even find it on his hard drive. LOL
So, he then told me that the printer company he uses really only needs a
TIF format of 8" by 10" by 700 dpi in order to print out large with no
problem. I'm hoping there's a communication problem between us, cause
that file size would be 107 meg!!! So, I've written back to him asking
if what he really meant was 800 X 1000 (pixels) by 700 ppi? That file
would only be around 2.2 meg.
My question to those in the know, is will that last setting hold up for
a rather large printout? I initially rendered at 9000 wide by 6750
(yeah I know that's not 8 x 10 ratio, but it's what the scene is set for
and he knows that). So, in Irfanview, can I resample that render to
1000 x 750 pixels by 700 dpi, and have that work ok, or do I need to
rerender the scene, and if so - at what setting?
This is turning out to be waaaay more work than I bargained for. LOL
