Hello,

I've amassed a collection of snaps from by X-E3 that I would like to print.  I'm getting slightly scuppered by frame sizes.  They are in 3:2 ration - however does this mean that i will be able to fit into a frame of this ratio  (e.g. 6inch by 9 inch) with no danger of the edges of the photo showing?  Or, is there an art to either cropping it, or getting a slightly smaller frame?

 

Secondly:  Shooting with the X-E3, with 4000 x 6000 resolution - what's the largest I can reasonably expect to print to?  My penchant is for landscapes, and viewing will generally be from 2+ metres away.


Thank you

Rob

I've printed up to 30 x 20 from a 6mp file way back in 2005.  With the 24mp files, you can easily do 30 x 20 and larger!  I've seen 40 x 30 and bigger at a Fuji show in NYC.  Of course, we photographers tend to pixel peep.  So if you stand back 3-4 feet the image, assuming you used proper shot discipline, will be amazing.  At home I print 13 x 19 weekly but yeah you can go pretty large.

May I ask if you are printing the images yourself or sending them to a printers?

Are you displaying in frames/on boards with no surround or other?

Will you be printing the whole frame or are you planning to crop regularly?

More questions than answers, but bear with me;)

Hello all,

 

Thank you very much for your answers, and I apologise for the long period of silence from me!  I had an issue with getting alerts to tell me that a reply had been left...

 

In reply to Sharkey4711

I will be sending them to a printer.  I have been using Snapfish (I am in the UK).  They have been a decent price, and the quality has been fine for standard/ small prints. 

Question - any recommendations for a decent printer for larger prints?

 

I will be displaying in frames - likely with a mount.

 

Regarding whole frame / cropping - likely will depend on how my photo looks!  Assume more than likely that I will not be cropping.

 

Thank you all for your help,

 

Rob

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
