    Hello all,

    Hope someone can help. We have a job to install some wall graphics (a countryside scene) onto an interior wall.

    The wall is 2160mm high but the biggest images are 24" x 18" from shutterbox? Where do I find a suitably large sized file?

    Do people just scale up and hope pixelation is not noticable?

    Whats the usual setup?

    Many thanks

    Greg

    Hi Greg,

    Ads long as you have downloaded the largest file size available from shutterstock then there should be no problem resizing to the size you need.
    On a professional image like that pixellation will be negligible.

    Hope that helps,

    Gil

    We do quite a bit of this and never had a problem with shutter stock stuff but if in doubt just change your onscreen view to actual size and that takes away the guessing.

    In my humble opinion Pixellation can be cool. 😉

    You could also use something like Photozoom pro to help enlarging prints, been mentioned on the forum a few times over the years.

    Simon you may be right but not sure the Customer always sees it that way :lol1: :lol1:
