Printing picture

[Booklover]

I have taken pictures of peonies (my favorite flower) I would like to make a print about the size of a poster to frame and hang in my home. I am new to all this photography stuff and was wondering how I would do this. Spoke to someone at Wal-Mart and she thought that if I tried printing it too big it would come out blury...any suggestions?

Well, first things first, how big is the photo (in pixels)?

You might want to read up on this: Design215 megapixels comparison and maximum print size charts

While you can print large, yes, it might wind up fuzzy / blurry. But, it will depend on just "how large" and the resolution of your camera and how far away you're viewing the image from as well.

Plus dont forget sharpening print sharpening or output sharpening can make a big difference though on screen it can look like crap lol.

You can often drop your ppi/dpi to around 150/200 and get good results at large sizes although its personal preference. You can also try enlarging people seem to recomemd stair interpolation in photoshop a google search will show videos and tutorials.
