biggest print size?

[umcelinho]

Hi, which is the biggest print size anyone here has done?

I'm about to print in 90x60cm, hopefully it will be okay...
I'll post results afterwards.

Looking forward to how that turns out.

That would be something like the largest film size I ever printed.

No idea with the RD-1 but I have printed A2 from both a 6mp 10D and an 8mp 590A. Looks fine until you stick you nose close to the print at which point it is, well, a bit blurred. Seen at a distance (+30 cm) I am sure your 90x60 will be fine.

I've had some nice 11x17" RD1 prints done through adorama. I used Lightroom for adjustments and final file creation.

Thanks, guys, I am really asking about printing from R-D1/s/x files (thus posting this here on the R-D1 section).

Both R-D1/s/x files and the scans I get from the lab are 6mp, 3000x2000. To get a file in 90x60cm (36x24in) I had to interpolate and more than triple the dimensions in pixels. Then in Lightroom I added a small amount of grain to mask the interpolation artifacts. I think it came out acceptable. The prints won't have the same definition as a 20mp native shot (that my RX100 does), but considering the size and the viewing distance it might be okay.

As soon as I have the images printed I'll post the results here.

The same, 🙂
interpolate twice to get 24Mpx,
sharpening with the biggest radius at a very low setting (enhance local contrast and not pixels)
then add a "film grain" like.
Good result at a viewing distance > 1m
