NateKutit Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Im Creating a Poster for my barbershop and Im putting 30 photos of customers that I and my co-worker has cut. The Poster will be 36'' Height x 24'' Wide. and I know the photos need to be in a High resolution to fit 30 pictures. My canvas size needs to be how many Pixels? What I want to know is there a way I can put numbers on every photo so customers can identify what style there after? Is this possible with infinity designer? or Infinity Photo? because I have both on a Macbook. Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Using Affinity Designer, make your page or artboard to be the dimensions you need, 24" x 36", portrait orientation. Then import/place your images, add text, etc. Then export to pdf. NateKutit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 In addition to what MikeW has said, set the DPI of the 24 x 36 inch document to 300 dpi. MikeW and NateKutit 1 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned that. I would say to talk with whomever will print the poster. At that size, they may well be reducing anything above 150 dpi to 150 dpi. Large format printing doesn't generally use higher dpi and holds the quality due to the printing technology. NateKutit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Possibly use the Guides Manager for easier placement of the 5 x 6 = 30 photos (+ the 30 text frames with numbers) by snapping to the virtual grid. Easy copy-paste of frames: Draw the first frame > cmd-C > cmd-J > cmd-drag the frame to the next position > cmd-J ...

wonderings Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Are these pictures taken with a modern camera? If so I would not bother doing this as I think you are over thinking it. Create your document size as you mentioned. All text and vector images will be fine no matter how large you blow it up. I never look at DPI when printing to my Epson 9900 44" wide format printer. If the images look fine (not pixelated) on my screen they print out fine on my printer. View actual size in whatever program you are using and you will see how pixelated it looks when looking at it really close. Again if it is a modern camera and the photo has not been reduced to make it easier to email then you should have no concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateKutit Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) @Wonderings My Camera I've been using is a Nikon D3200 SLR. Its has 24 Mega pixels and a 35mm 1.8 fixed lens so I save all my photos in the normal file size at 4mb unless i need a higher resolution then I will increase the size. I can post a sample of what Im working on so yo can see what i'm trying to accomplish Edited July 15, 2020 by NateKutit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
