I have a question about layers and dpi.
At the moment I'm playing with photography of paint. I've duplicate my layer and applied free transformation > twisting. After that, I go to laagstijl (layerstyle? I'm sorry, I have the Dutch version and hope my translation is right). There are two sliders (?), one says: this layer, the other says underlying layer. I put the manipulated layer on - about - 40%. I like the result and I'd like to make a print on canvas of this, and hang it in the garden.
But... something strange happens: the background layer has 72* dpi, but now the other layer has 214 dpi. The size of the background layer is 33 inch, the other about 10. I understand that the manipulated layer should not have equal dpi, but it would be more logical if it had less dpi.
My questions are: if I want a good print of this, would 10 inch be the maximum?
If I’d like to have a print of 33 inch, would there be a way to fix that? And if the answer is yes: How?
My English is not so well, hope you just as well understand my questions.
* I learned on the internet that since I use a Canon camera, 72 dpi is the same as 150 dpi when I’d use a Nikon, for example. So when I print a file which has 72 dpi, it should be ok. |
