Hi
I've got a big problem
I've got a beautiful pattern for a Hermes' Kelly bag and I would like to print in in its real size using a plotter. However the image resolution is too poor for that print size and it result "sgranato" (I'm sorry, I don't know how to say it in english). I heard there's a way, with PS to fix this problem...
Is here anyone who can help me????

hi
now it would help alot in a reply if three things are mentioned
1. what the current image size
2. how big is the poster
3. when viewing, will it be normal for them to view afar or very close to the poster.... this can effect the file size and the ppi setting you want to use.
be that said... you may want to look at this chart... there many on the net.. and it gives you the recomened resolution of a image for printing sizes......
i am assuming that people will be viewing at a disatance , not real close in which case 150 to 200 ppi should be sufficient although if it expected there gooing to be up close then maybe 300 ppi..
note: if epson printer... generally some multible of 360 ppi ie; 180, 360, 720, etc with printers like hp or canon etc ... 150, 300, 600 etc ...
note: at a distant you can't tell the difference if a images is in 300 ppi or 150 ppi ....
now with all that said sounds like you need to enlarge the resolution of your image tofit the size....
1. you can go into your image resize and plug in the values you need and generall pciking the alorythem bicubic smoother ...
now another meathod is the 10 per cent rule which generally give better results... simple... usig bicubic smoother...... increase pixal resolution , the image size in 10% segments untill you reach the resolution size you need
