JPEG convertion and resolution ?

so is that the largest the image will go without getting blown out pixels?

What are you calling ''blown out pixels'' ?
Is that purely a personal opinion as to some point where you consider a pixel beyond some point of resolution? Is that where you can detect some fuzziness or some level of stair-stepping on curves and diagonals?

You never even mentioned if your ''blown out pixels'' appear on the screen or at some point of printing. And if your distance of viewing is not defined, then any detection of seeing these "blown out pixels" will decrease with the distance of viewing.

If you want one pixel of an image to print as one printing dot, then that is simply a ratio of 1:1 and it is a simple matter of division, as already has been mentioned.

If this whole ''blown out pixels'' is your personal opinion of some level where you decide the image is too distorted, then that is your personal level and you should be the best judge of that.

Without exact definitions how can we give you exact answers?

Whew - that was quite a response. Yes, blown out pixels from an enalargement made too big where as the photo get fuzzy NOT distorted in any way, just plain fuzzy. Not only viewed on a personal level but a professional one. Not as easy as division like before mentioned...but I was able to figure it out on my own and with the help of Adobe CS2 Help Center. No need for exact answers just some experience in the field of photography would suffice.

If you print the image at 300ppi, the image will look as good as it's ever going to look.

Obviously, we don't know what you mean by 'blown out' pixels. If you mean overexposure (the image is too light), the pixel density used in printing won't affect that. If you mean pixelation, the ppi can go as low as 150 to get a good print. Lower than 150 will begin to produce pixelation. However, you asked for a 300ppi size.

Sorry, "blown out" is a term many of the professional photographers I know use - meaning getting too big for the image. I know 300 dpi will get me the best image, I wonder about the different resolutions and how that will effect things.

Kiddpeat, Maybe this? And the effect? Only having fun here.

Really does look that way.
Kiddpeat, I will tell you of my settings later.
Here are some other settings that are all different.
Some are right-on. Others are really bizarre settings.
Some work, others do not. Cannot figurer out why? True!

I really think that I am on to something here or I am on something!?
Maybe both!
More to come later. Can't wait to send you these. I experiment quite a lot.
