Question: How to get large prints from photograph!?
I'd like to get the biggest image size possible with the best quality!. I'm about to go to the beach tomorrow so I'd like to figure it out asap because a friend wants pictures of her kids!. I have it set to super fine, and each image is approx 3MB!. I took some pictures last year using this camera and they came out great, but the largest pic I could get from them were 8x10, printed!. I don't think I had it on Super Fine at that time!. I could be wrong!. Anyway, I'd like to make images for large framing purposes, like poster size!. Any info!? I have a Canon Power Shot A560!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The image quality setting will make a huge difference!.
I just downloaded a sample from an A570-IS ( http://a!.img-dpreview!.com/gallery/canona!.!.!. ), which is essentially the same as your camera, and I think it would actually be fine up to poster size!. I did a crop that would be the equivalent of a 20x30 poster and I was very surprised at how well it printed out!. Just be sure that you are on the super fine image quality and the largest file size available and don't plan on cropping anything away!. In other words, be sure to compose your picture almost exactly as you want to print it!.
