Lighroom always resamples an image when you send a file to a printer from the print module. Lightroom always resamples an image if you choose to resize on export. I am sorry dj_paige, you give great advice on many Lightroom subjects, but on the print process you are incorrect. For most inkjet printers, 240 ppi is a great output resolution. Lightroom can upsample your files with little appreciable visible loss of image quality as long as you don't go more than twice the native resolution. However, you will achieve great results exporting as large as 20 x 30 inches as long as the image is sharp and well exposed. Files export from your 60d as 14.4 x 21.6 inches if you do not resize them, this is the native resolution of your camera with an output resolution of 240 ppi.

I work as a professional printer, and can tell with a certain degree of confidence, that this is quite flexible. Lightroom will resample the image to give you perfect results. If you are giving the file to another person to print, then you need to know the optimal ppi needed by that printer as well as the print size. Lightroom does this automatically when you use the print module, and print to your own printer. For example, you choose 8 x 12 inches for your print, and you specify 240 pixels per inch (ppi) the resulting file would have now have 2880 x1920. When you export a file, these pixels almost always need to be either reduced in number or increased, depending on the size and output resolution of the you specify in the export dialog. The resolution of your file is based on the number of pixels in the original Raw file, in you case 5184 x 3456. will this image reconstruct the pixels from 72ppi to 300ppi ? (or is it digitally reconstructing the image?) will it loose or gain quality ? If I shot in JPEG mode (that is 72 pixels per inch ) and I am exporting from LR "300 pixels per inch". Is there any option to get maximum print size without compromising on quality (300 pixel per inch) from canon RAW Is this the maximum print size which can be availed from this camera (while exporting from Lightroom) ? (Any other method to get max print size - maintaining a decent ppi ) I believe 300 pixels per inch is the ideal resolution for printing and 17.28 * 11.52 Inches is the maximum size I can avail without loosing the print quality (correct me if am wrong)
SO as you said when the resolution increases, the print size decreases and vise versa. If I export this image with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch, the print size is 72 * 48 Inches - I think this is the maximum size which can be extracted from this (Simililar to JPEG). If I export this image with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch, the print size is 17.28 * 11.52 Inches If I export this image with a resolution of 600 pixels per inch, the print size is 8.64 * 5.76 Inches I am NOT using the option "Resize to Fit" - its always unchecked. My Photo resolution is 5184*3456 (from Canon 60D - 18 mega pixels) If you are going to print at just about any size (except for extremely large print sizes), you UNcheck the box that says "Resize to Fit", and you get maximum resolution, which produces maximum quality. If the exported photo is 4000圆000 pixels, you can print it 8x12 in which case it prints at 500 pixels per inch, or you can print it at 4圆 inches which would be 1000 pixels per inch, or you can print it at 10x15 in which case it would be 400 pixels per inch, or you can print it at other sizes (regardless of the number you specify in the export dialog box). Your image can be printed at multiple sizes. So what is the ideal resolutions for this image ?Īnd how will I get the maximum size with maximum quality (without loosing the quality)Īll of these calculations of print size are misleading and wrong. If I decreased the print size (may be 72 pixel per inch), the print size increases.
If I increase the resolution (may be 600 pixels per inch), the print size reduces (I checked the print size in Photoshop) My question is what should be the ideal resolution ? In the image sizing menu, there is resolution option. While exporting from Lightroom CC, in the export menu there is "image sizing" menu.
