Urgent Help Please - Large Canvas Printing

[bowds1122]

(Sorry for the urgency, I have to have the file to the printers by tomorrow (2/12) night)

I've got a Canon 40D (10mp), is it good enough to make a 40" x 60" canvas print?

My calculations make me believe I could get away with a 30" x 40", but thats about the max I could go. Though I am really hoping i'm wrong and can print a 40"x60"

Long shot here, but; If the native res isn't good enough, is there anyway I cn "upsize" it whilst retaining quality?

The file i'm hoping to print is:
(below hasn't had any PP on it yet, need shadow correction etc.)

You can upsize a photo. Get a copy of Genuine Fractals

Thanks for your help Rick,

The printer is BigW, (they have a 40% off sale until tomorrow night, yay). It would be best to supply them with the enlarged file through a program like Genuine Fractals yes?

If you need to make it larger and want control over the quality of the file, yes.

Thanks again. I'll look into the program tonight and hopefully have something for the printers tomorrow.

Much appreciated.

u will be fine with the 40D at that size

canvas prints are very very very forgiving in terms of MP count of a cameras sensor, much more so than any other print fabrics and paper

you wont need to up-res the file at all

Gents, if your priniting on canvas depending on which printer they use its normaly only 200 dpi so if your useing a 40d it in full res it should be more than enough. I use these guys http://www.megaprints.com.au/
they have a section on there site where you can submit picture and they will let you know how big it can be printed. I have been very happy with the quality and service from these guys always quick and quality has been better than most retail shops ect. and prices are cheap http://www.megaprints.com.au/pricelist.html
