The text I agree is res independent. I dunno about how it would look on canvas that's all. My back of the envelope calc said I'd need 78 mp to make a pic that size at 300 dpi with no interpolation. 5 12 mp shots, after stitching and trimming probably only gives you 40 mp to play with. That's a lot of interpolating.

Nice Neil, thanks!

It's 48inches by 17inches at 300 dpi.
Increase it by 10% at a time with photoshop (set an action to keep it to a one button job)
and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality. I doubt canvas would need more than 200dpi for a good picture, anyway.

G.

Actually, I just took it up to 86in x 30in or so and it is quite remarkable. Great shots Neil.
