Long ago, when I had a large website that included Polish vehicles, I had to keep my images really small, about 300 pixels wide, to ensure they loaded onto the page. Such was the reality of life on the slow internet of the 1990s. The image had already been scanned in from a print, so the loss of quality was significant. However, these days the internet is incredibly fast in comparison, and now large images are possible - but I no longer have a scanner. The answer was a challenge, could I turn the 300 pixel wide original into a 6000 pixel wide monster.
And I succeeded! Well, this version has been resized back down to 640 pixels wide, but with a whole lot less compression - the 6000 pixel monster is for sale as a wall print, and I would not want to casually leave a print lying around on the internet that is pin-sharp at 50 inches wide when on your wall, would you?
