HOW'D HE DO THAT???
Here's what to remember about this image, how it started and then the final product.
1. Original was a standard format, 4480 x 6720
2. Cropped square, 4480 x 4480
3. Processed through ACR
4. Enlarged through ACR to 8960 x 8960
5. Reduced to under 25 mbs and uploaded!
THAT'S WHY this to me is an amazing file now! So for FAA, this is beyond standards. I rarely sell huge prints, but did sell in May, a 4-foot x 6-foot image, a much older file and more than likely UNDER 6720 on the long side. So the quality is there, for this purpose. Now, according to the printer's guidelines, this image could be cropped DOWN on the top/bottom, into a horizontal and then "technically" produce a 90" print on the long side....
So this combination of these "tools", new camera AND ACR, enables me and I would hope others, to almost ALWAYS upload the largest dimensional files to FAA, for potential sales! Understanding fully, that just because it BIG, don't mean it's gonna sell! LOL!
I have done this occasionally to create the larger file, but is it worth it for FAA? As you say, they are already pretty liberal about the size of print they allow from a file.
