How to print your panoramas

Have you ever captured a breathtaking panoramic photograph? A picture that seems to transport you into another world, where the boundaries of the frame disappear and you're left immersed in a vast expanse of beauty? Well here are a few tips to help you print your favourite images.

What is panoramic?

• Panoramic print styles are based on aspect ratio. The higher the number on the aspect ratio, the longer and thinner your printed panorama will be.
• Filter through the selection styles for printing; from Panoramic, Super Panoramic to Ultra Panoramic etc.... you may find that one fits your image perfectly. Alternately, you may prefer to lose a little of the sky or a small amount of the foreground in order to achieve a perfect result. This can be achieved by selecting a higher aspect ratio and then adjusting the preview with the cropping tool.

Always upload the highest quality image you have available. Regardless of whether you are only ordering a small poster or purchasing a massive print to cover the length of your sitting room, start with the highest quality original file from your camera or phone.

Ultimately, if you wish to print panoramic photos, uploading the largest file you have will create the best print possible from your photography regardless of whether you are a talented amateur or a professional photographer.

How large can I print my photo?

• Modern phones and cameras generally take high quality photographs with an ever-increasing number of pixels. Phone and camera manufacturers are answering user requirements for better images suitable for printing.
• Poster sizes range from relatively small photo prints to massive posters designed to create a dramatic effect. It is often difficult to know if your photo has enough resolution to produce the size you would like so be aware of our initial advice when printing a picture online. It's always best to upload the largest original file that you have available.

What finish should I choose for prints?

• Personal opinion is the most relevant factor when choosing paper finishes. Many people love ultra glossy prints that dynamically reflect light whilst others prefer a more subtle matte finish. If in doubt, choose a semi-gloss (lustre) style finish to enhance your picture and yet reduce reflectivity.
• Several factors can influence your choice: lighting within the room for display, if the image is to be framed (generally better with matte or semi-gloss) and the type of photography should all to be factored in when choosing your finish.
