Hi everyone!
I'm having alittle trouble with something that I think should have an easy answer(hopefully). I've been searching the web for a while but havent had much success with a definite answer. I'm working on a poster for an event, here are the issues:
1) I would like it to be dimensioned like a concert poster, what are some standard print sizes (in inches) and what ppi should i use??
2) The image i would like to use is 1920x1060, its all black with a flower in the middle third. that middle third is the only part i really need to use. From my research and experimentation i find that using a 16"x24" 300ppi canvas does not work too well. Is there a way i can get around this?

Thank you very much for your time. :)
 
From what I just read(while scratching my head) I'm confused about your question. Could you ask that again in a different way? I assume no one else has replied due to not understanding..... It could be me, I confuse easily around here lol
 
haha thanks for the reply, sorry if its confusing. i will try to simplify it...
I'm attempting to make a concert poster. I would like to take the middle third of a stock image(overall image size is 1920x1080) and make that into a concert poster(to be printed at 16"x24")

i researched the proper canvas size for said poster, and it recommended a ppi of 300......my stock image is too small for this.

questions...
1) is it neccessairy that i keep it at 300ppi?
2)how much will that effect on my final print will that have?
If #1 is yes...
3) is there a way to resize my stock photo to fit that?
Thanks a lot!!!!
i hope its less confusing.
 
what is the resolution of said stock photo?
 
If my calculations are correct, your print will come out to about 80dpi. This is a personal preference thing and also how good your printer is. It's definitely usable but personally I wouldn't print anything under 200 (just me being a snob). Your image seems very low resolution for a 'stock image', perhaps you could find one that's higher quality?
 
Thanks for the reply RTContent.
I worked on it late last night and tried with a ppi of 50 and it worked well. I'm not sure where I'm going to get it printed yet. I looked for a higher res image but was unable to find one. Thanks again.
