Title: Larger Prints -- How to Prep?
Post by: wsolum on March 19, 2008, 07:30:10 pm
I was at the Ed Pierce seminar last month and was admiring the very large prints they had on display.  From a distance of about 5 feet and greater they looked like photographs, but up close they looked like paintings -- very smooth and buttery.  But not like they used painter to put brush strokes in it -- more like a smudging technique but probably applied automatically rather than paint by hand.

Does anyone know how they do this?  If I print an image beyond it's resolution I get artifacts, so I imagine they are doing this as a matter of practicality as much as art.
