Vol. III, Issue 3

IMAGE RESOLUTION:

When this original is enlarged, the lossiness of the original is evident. Since the original was a low resolution image, there simply was not enough information in the photo to enlarge it satisfactorily. See the two examples below. You can clearly see what the human eye missed:  dots in the original that are not visible until the image is enlarged.

As you can see, when a low resolution image is enlarged, even the best scanned image using the best photo enlargement software (Imagener, of course) is only enlarging content that simply does not exist - pulling apart what is there and revealing what is not.

The high resolution scan served to create a really detailed image of the dots that the scanner could "see," then the enlargement process perfectly enlarged the dots. Images taken from websites can often be much worse than this, completely coming apart into large blocks when enlarged. This is because in their original form they may look okay, but the human eye is really looking at very little actual digital content.

Again, the original image in this example was scanned in at an extremely high resolution - 1200 dpi - but the beginning image just did not have sufficient content for image enlargement purposes even though the human eye sees a beautiful picture in its original form. If in this case the picture we scanned had been a glossy actual photograph with at least 300 dpi resolution, the image could have been enlarged or used to create a beautiful wall mural.

Kneson Software's YottaPrint is still the only reasonable way that anyone can possibly put a picture on a wall from the floor to the ceiling. Before now, there has been no affordable way to get an image onto a wall as a wall mural.

Yottaprint extends the Imagener technology to one of its most practical applications - printing wall murals or posters from your own printer. YottaPrint allows you to print any image as large as you want and seamlessly assemble the image temporarily or permanently on wall surfaces. YottaPrint is intended to allow you to create great looking wall murals with just normal printer paper. You can of course use higher grade papers, and/or photographic quality paper with a high resolution photo printer for even better results.

You can create an even better result if you have one of the modern wide-format printers on the market today. Just in the last several years a whole new line of printers have been introduced that print on paper that is wider than traditional 8.5" X 11" printer paper. With one of these modern printers and YottaPrint you can cover large wall spaces with pictures or photos that have deep personal meaning instead of a painting or poster that doesn't relate to your life.
