Hi, I want to print some pictures taken from a 5mp Olympus E-20 camera at 16x20 size and am not sure what to do with the resolution. If I resize the image to 16x20 with "resample" unchecked in PS to preserve the pixel counts, the resolution comes down to one hundred something. Now, should I increase the pixel count by changing the resolution to 300 using bicubic option to get good quality print? Or is there a better way or better sofware?
I'm going to have them printed at Ofoto or some place like that so I want to make sure I get good result for the high cost. I'd appreciate any advice.
