Badstone Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm working with an image off the internet, a image from an old Twilight Zone episode, black and white. it is 1024 x 768, resolution of 3.00 but the print size is 341 x 256 inches! It's only 115 kb! When I try to place type, even the 288 size is tiny, unreadable. Other files are fine, the size is as expected. I tried converting to a png and pdn, but the type size remains tiny. Any ideas on why? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 ^^ this. Quote Points (image DPI): Points are a unit of length, often used in typography and in print media. One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch. Text rendered in points will be scaled according to the image DPI (Dots Per Inch). The approximate pixel height will be number of points * image DPI / 96 What you're seeing is a pixel height of around 288 * 3 / 96 = 9 It looks ike you're trying to stretch a modest sized image to use as a HUGE poster. Trust me, that is unlikely to end well. The width is 341 inches which is over 28 feet! Surely that can't be correct? If it is, a 3px/inch resolution each pixel is going to be 1/3 of an inch or around 8mm square.
