How do you frame your 13x19 prints?: Printers and Printing Forum: Digital Photography Review. Sjwolfhope wrote:Michael's Craft Stores sell a nice 13"X19" frame in their Home frame collection.
That is what I use - print borderless and no mat. Frame is flat black and looks nice - at least to me. They often have them on sale or use the 40% off coupon that is in every Michael's ad. One warning about frames from Michael's is their frames generally have a very small rabbit, so you can't fit a nicely mounted and matted print inside. Another thing if you print on 13x19 paper, borderless and frame the print you'll lose about 1/2 of the image all around . Whenever I do print borderless, I prepare my image for printing with a 1/8" white border around the outside so that when the printer enlarges the image I lose very little of the image to the borderless print image enlarging process.
Megapixels vs. Print Size – How Big Can You Print? How big can I print?
The first thing that people like to find out about a digital camera is it’s megapixels. It seems there’s some sort of megapixels fetish that consumes the world of digital photography. Unlike popular believe, however, megapixels is not the be-all-and-end-all of digital photography. Make Better Prints - ImagePrint. Which paper is best for photography prints.

Megapixels Comparison and Maximum Print Size Charts. [46 Comments] Michael 05 Jul 2006 10:15pm "Nice guide, I got a 7 Megapixel Camera and it makes beautiful 8x10s.
Even though 7 is not on the chart it is not difficult to see where it would fit. I haven't tried anything larger than a 8x10. Optimizing Digital Photo Enlargment. Digital photo enlargement to several times its original 300 PPI size, while still retaining sharp detail, is perhaps the ultimate goal of many interpolation algorithms.
Despite this common aim, enlargement results can vary significantly depending on the resize software, sharpening and interpolation algorithm implemented. The problem arises because unlike film, digital cameras store their detail in a discrete unit: the pixel. Any attempt to magnify an image also enlarges these pixels — unless some type of image interpolation is performed. Move your mouse over the image to the right to see how even standard interpolation can improve the blocky, pixelated appearance. Before proceeding with this tutorial, know that there is no magic solution; the best optimization is to start with the highest quality image possible.
Recall that all non-adaptive interpolation algorithms always face a trade-off between three artifacts: aliasing, blurring and edge halos. HARDWARE vs. Basics of Digital Camera Pixels. The continuous advance of digital camera technology can be quite confusing because new terms are constantly being introduced.
This tutorial aims to clear up some of this digital pixel confusion — particularly for those who are either considering or have just purchased their first digital camera. Concepts such as sensor size, megapixels, dithering and print size are discussed. Every digital image consists of a fundamental small-scale descriptor: THE PIXEL, invented by combining the words "PICture ELement. " Just as how pointillist artwork uses a series of paint blotches, millions of pixels can also combine to create a detailed and seemingly continuous image. Each pixel contains a series of numbers which describe its color or intensity.

Even though "dots per inch" (dpi) and "pixels per inch" (ppi) are used interchangeably by many, they are not the same thing. Traditional printing methods use patterns of dots to render photographic images on a printed page. While pixels on a monitor are square and in contact with the adjacent pixels, printed dots have space between them to make white, or no space between them to make black. Color photographs are printed using four inks, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK), and four separate dot patterns, one for each ink. Toolbox - Photography Printing Guide - DPI vs PPI. Megapixels Comparison and Maximum Print Size Charts. Each colored box represents a certain number of megapixels.
The numbers along the top and left side are print dimensions in inches at 300ppi (pixels per inch). Most books and magazines require 300ppi for photo quality. For example, the chart shows that you can make a 5" x 7" photo quality print from a 3 megapixel camera. inches @ 300ppi (numbers inside colored boxes are megapixels) Notice that as the print size doubles, the megapixels required increases geometrically. Here's why: A megapixel is 1 million pixels. Megapixels vs. *Typical Resolution. **At 150ppi, printed images will have visible pixels and details will look "fuzzy".
