The picture will have to be exported and edited in another program, which is kind of counter productive. <br /><br />This is definitely one the limitations of Muro. I wish there was more control of the canvas size.The only way for me to increase the size was to export it and then open it in Photoshop. I created a blank document that was the size I wanted the artwork to be, and then imported the artwork as a layer. As far as Photoshop goes, I've noticed that when I use this method to make photos bigger, there is very, very little quality loss. <br /><br />After the import, the new size was 6600x5100, which is good if I wanted to make a 16x16 print on DA. If I increased the size just a little more, I could even meet the requirements for a 20x20--which is near the size you were hoping to get. A little smaller, but close.<br /><br />For this piece, these resolution sizes were fine because I wasn't planing on making this picture into a very large print.<br /><br />The problem with using another program to increase the size of artwork is the risk of quality loss. I don't know how other image editing programs handle this, but I do know that Photoshop does handle it very well--however even with Photoshop there is a point where the artwork will start to lose quality if it's made too big, so that's something to watch out for. <br /><br />Typically, a picture that is resized too much even looks grainy in the digtal preview, so that’s a sign that the picture my need to be a little smaller. <br /><br />This may not be the answer you hoped for, but it's the best I could give. Hopefully, it helped you some!<br /><br />Arcadia Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025147259110712732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034614119766641122.post-18292116863587883922013-07-26T21:22:49.053-04:002013-07-26T21:22:49.053-04:00Thank you for this, I do have a question though. D...Thank you for this, I do have a question though. D:<br /><br />I'm trying to manage prints in DeviantArt and make them a size where I can at least print up to 24inches, though bigger would be even more awesome. However some of the art I made is only 1000 x 950.<br /><br />Does this mean I can't print them larger than 10x10 (which is what DeviantArt is saying?) Is there a way on Muro I can make it larger than that? The max says its like... 2000 x 2000... And I'm not sure if that's much bigger.<br />I would take this to the forums on Deviantart but no one answered me. D:<br />I really don't want to find out that I can't make large, useful prints out of these... I was really hoping to sell some. :(<br /><br />Thanks for your help!<br /><br />~ MilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
