  • 72 dpi to 300 dpi

    Posted by Charles Ferran on September 27, 2010 at 9:44 pm

    I tried this over in the photoshop forum, but didn’t get any responses, maybe its a basic question?

    hey everyone.

    was wondering if there was a way I could take a single frame of video captured with a screen snap and using photoshop blow it up to 300 dpi so it could be printed as a poster.

    I basically want a frame of HD video that is originally captured at 72 dpi to look good enough to frame on the wall when printed out a poster size (24 X 36) how would I go about doing this? also would I need to change color settings to CMYK?

    Thank you!

    There are many softwares to do what you want, but be warned you’ll never get the quality of a 300dpi image.

    I’ve personally used genuine fractals and it does a decent job. Here’s a list of others:

    I too have used Genuine Fractals and was impressed with how well it scales images, although as Bill said, it’s not really possible to get 300dpi out of 72dpi.

    Before spending money on any third-party plugin, I’d test doing it with Photoshop’s native tools and printing at the size you want … I haven’t done the math to see how close a 1920×1080 HD video image would get to 24×36″ (assuming you meant inches, not feet), but it may get reasonably close.

    Hey, I think you should refer to arttoframe society as they’d be able to help you in the best way just like they helped me through the canvas art.
    Good Luck,
    Cora
