The down sampling was done in Photoshop using the default parameters in the image resize dialogue box.<\/li><li>This down sampled file was then up-sampled back to 9000 x 6000 pixels using the six different methods mentioned above.<\/li><li>All seven files (the original and the six upscaled versions) were then uploaded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.printique.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printique<\/a>&#8216;s website and printed on metallic paper and then mounted on foam core.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> I highly recommend using a reputable place like Printique to make print comparisons like this because you&#8217;ll know the final print quality won\u2019t be because of the method used to make the prints.&nbsp;Printique uses top-notch, archival paper and ink that are extremely color accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Ranking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based purely on the on-screen appearance, I ranked the output based on sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Original<\/strong> \u2013 The original \u2014 of course \u2014 is the best.&nbsp;The detail is naturally crisp with no appreciable \u201chaloing\u201d around high contrast interfaces.&nbsp;The file could be sharpened even further, depending on taste, with no appreciable adverse effects.<\/li><li><strong>Gigapixel AI &amp; BigJPG<\/strong> &#8211; Both produce similar results with excellent detail and minimal sharpening artifact.<\/li><li><strong>Imglarger<\/strong> \u2013 The file is just as detailed as those from Gigapixel and Bigjpeg, but the colors were not as accurate with somewhat muted tones and a slight cool color cast.<\/li><li><strong>Lightroom and Photoshop<\/strong> \u2013 Both produced similar results, which is not surprising since they are made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/brands\/Adobe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adobe<\/a>.&nbsp;The micro detail and contrast weren\u2019t quite as pleasing to my eyes as with the other software above.<\/li><li><strong>Manual upsampling<\/strong> &#8211; Not surprisingly, this produced the worst result on screen.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s now consider the actual prints from these files.&nbsp;I asked three photographers and three non-photographers to look at the prints independently from two feet away and rank them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viewers Ranking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were all over the place! Somewhat surprisingly, the consistent \u201closer\u201d was Imglarger. This is not because it lacked detail, but because the colors were somewhat muted when compared side-by-side to the others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manual upsample was also ranked toward the bottom. Although, two people (both non-photographers) ranked it higher than Lightroom and Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What conclusions, if any, can we draw from this?&nbsp; We have to judge the findings in the context of some limitations:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>If I had made the prints even larger, there might have been more consistent results.&nbsp; However, I\u2019m unsure of that.&nbsp;I chose 24\u201d x&nbsp; 36\u201d prints because \u2014 in my experience \u2014 most people don\u2019t make prints larger than this. Also, this is about as large a print as I can see comfortably from a viewing distance of about two feet.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Subject matter being printed may play a role.&nbsp;I limited my image to a landscape photograph. Perhaps portraits or wildlife images might behave differently.<\/li><li>I started out with a clean, low-ISO file taken on high-quality equipment so I didn\u2019t feel the need to make too many changes to parameters.&nbsp;<\/li><li>I used JPEG files rather than TIFF files.&nbsp;Perhaps using TIFF files would have made some difference, but I\u2019m doubtful.&nbsp;Besides, the online software in the free or trial version only allowed for JPEG files less than 5 MB.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the above limitations, here are my conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>For prints of landscape scenes, there\u2019s very little difference in what method you use to upscale your images.&nbsp;If you already have Lightroom or Photoshop, I think you can utilize those.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You should probably avoid resizing using a manual method.<\/li><li>When comparing prints, colors and contrast seem to matter more \u2014 or those elements are more conspicuous than overall sharpness and detail.<\/li><li>How detailed an image looks on screen at 100 percent (or more) will not necessarily translate to more appreciable detail in prints \u2014 at least up to 24\u201d x 36\u201d.<\/li><li>Viewing distance matters. It matters quite a bit!&nbsp;This is perhaps one of the most over-looked and under-considered elements when people pixel peep on a screen.<\/li><li>If you\u2019re taking images for social media or to display on a high-resolution monitor, then resolution matters more than for making prints. This is almost counterintuitive because I always hear people argue the need for very high-resolution cameras. This is because they want to be able to make huge prints.&nbsp;I think we need high resolution cameras because we want to be able to crop with abandon and still have enough resolution to post online or display on our screens.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s so much information out there about upscaling photos &#8220;properly.&#8221; Most methods concentrate on how the files look on the screen viewed at 100, 200, or 300 percent.
