Question for photo printing

    Looking for advice on printing a portrait photo that I took recently of my mom & 18 month old nephew.

    It was taken with a Canon 450D, so the res is 4288 x 2848. I'm wondering what the largest that I can print it? As the photo wasn't staged, it came out as fairly orange. Running it through Photoshop as auto, it's a bit better, but a bit of noise. Retaking the photo isn't an option, as both people in the photo are naturally smiling/joy/happy; prefer this to trying to restage the photo with better light, as getting the nephew to pop a smile on cue in front of a camera is near impossible.

    I'm thinking of getting it done by 360-dpi, but I don't know what size to ask for? Or if I give them the JPG, would they be able to advise? Looking to spend around the €60 mark.

    Also, does anyone know their turnaround time? Could pop down this week to talk to them if needs be (they're only 2 hours away on the train).

    Assuming you were shooting JPEG only mode yeah? White balance would be far more correctable (entirely so) with the RAW. If its way too warm try dropping a copy to B&W to see how that looks.

    300PPI at 12MP gives you a 14x9 a 14 x 11" print should look alright I suspect. 360 will know a lot more than I.

    60 for print or printer? Also print or canvas. Bigger nice frames are stupid expensive. I've taken to making my own.

    If you still have the raw file you can change the white balance to maybe get a better colour. Steve will advise you, he is a nice guy. Also most pro print shops like the file to be a TIFF file
