I haven't been on the forums in a long time but I opened them up just to see what happened with the free form tool, I will admit I don't use it that often but I find it useful for filling it outlines that are antialised without having to muck about with paint brush sizes. Though I like some of the new shape options, I feel like I have much less freedom now. In particular, I would use the free form shape for it's 'complete the shape straight edge' (whatever you'd call that) when filling parts of a shape. As an example, I'm currently creating a diamond shape that I now know I could have created using a combination of triangle shapes, but I still find it easier to control dimensions and ratios with lines first.

After resizing and combining all my photographs to make the wall sized collage and sending it off, I was emailed by the company and told that if I wanted it cut up around each photo then I should send them individually or they would charge me for their time to create an outline layer. So I was able to send each photo with it's original quality 4-8MB each. Much happier with that. It's in the 'printing queue' now.

I can do that. I am being tricky though and planning to cut up the large sheet into smaller images, hence making the collage and needing to know the size before I piece it together. Works out much cheaper that way than getting the company which makes them to print each one separately. The largest image will be 150cm wide by 60cm high. And the longest will be a strip 240cm high and 30cm wide, that one will run the full height of the wall. I rent and can't hang large pieces easily, getting this printed and delivered will be less than $200 and it's removable so it seems like a pretty good solution :-)

Thank you so much! I have been fiddling with numbers on paper all day trying to estimate what I'm in for. Can't wait to go home and set up my canvas now!

Hi. I am planning to get some photos printed on vinyl wallpaper. The physical dimensions of the wall paper will be 1300mm x 2500mm and as I am ordering it online, there is an upload restriction of 8MB (file formats allowed are .pdf .jpg and .zip). I would like to collage multiple images to create my wallpaper and plan to resize and edit each image before collating them in one large image. Then I will resize that image to be the final one (if that makes sense). What I want to know is, is there any simple way to work out what my final image's pixel width and height will need to be to fit the 8MB restriction? I have no idea what the printing dpi is, the website only indicates that images should be 'at least 4MB for good quality'...which means nothing. Ideally I would like to work with a starting image with 4x or 16x the pixels so it resizes nicely...I just don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
