Simmetrical 0 Posted August 12, 2015 At a local fundraiser I obtained a mural printing and installation dimensions 53"x96" but I have to use my own picture which i do not have of a high quality. Is there anyone around that can help? Something outdoor, woodsy or something that you think will work for a kitchen wall. It will be used for 1 mural in my kitchen not resale. If you have something and don't want to post here, please send me a message. This was my favorite but resolution is not good enough. (cant link here but its a barn Picture #2 "472424.jpg" google) Thank you guys, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 12, 2015 Have you added "Hi-Res" to your google search query? A lot of times it will pull up some nice big pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted August 12, 2015 When you go to Google Images, put in the subject, then go to right side, click on search tools, go back left, click size, there you can pick a larger size of images. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moody Blue 505 Posted August 13, 2015 Check istock.com....they have some really great high-res photos that would work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted August 13, 2015 I would send you some of my Raw photos...but I don't think you want a giant picture of my truck in your kitchen 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted August 13, 2015 yes tried googling, image will be very distorted. That's why you choose a larger image, in the search tools. They have plenty on there, that'll print the size you're wanting. istock, Shutterstock, Dreamstime, etc are good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simmetrical 0 Posted August 13, 2015 I must be doing something wrong, non of the websites offer pic for resolution for 53"x96", I even looked for any images of that size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will have to buy the largest photo you can (300 DPI) and scale it up. If it looks blurry you may have to attempt to take one yourself or have a photographer take it. You won't find an 8' tall photo on the internet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted August 13, 2015 You've got to forget the 300dpi stuff, it will be more than likely, printed at 72. Or even lower. 300 is for business cards, and such. Are you wanting 96 tall, or 96 wide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signyouup 178 Posted August 13, 2015 To do that without up-scaling @72dpi you are talking about a 30 megapixel image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simmetrical 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Yea i was hoping someone has something available, i got a camera but no scenery like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted August 13, 2015 You are just about going to need a panorama print, to fill up that size. Either vertical, or horizontal, whichever way you're going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knucklehead 530 Posted August 13, 2015 Google Images has plenty of mountains, countryside, that are 5 -10-12 thousand pixels wide. Plenty big enough for 96" wide. You may have to crop it some. You may not find one that is exactly those dimensions, 53x96. Or, get two skinny images, stack em, print em, cut em down the middle, get two wall prints for the price of one.
