A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Higher resolution is printing more pixelated (alien.top)

So I don’t know a whole lot about printing, but I have read that you should export for printing at 300 ppi resolution. When I did this the photo I was exporting went haywire. It cropped my photo cutting a lot off, and it turned SO pixelated. When I took it back to the original 72 ppi it looks significantly better. This print is going to be 27in by 39in. Which at the 72 ppi it’s still pixelated enough that I don’t love it but it’s nowhere as bad as it was at the 300. What am I doing wrong? What’s a way to clear the pixelation on the print?
