People decorate their walls with those all the time, which is a reminder that the majority of clients buying your work aren't looking at things under a microscope and that it's more about the work as a whole. The detail in those pieces is substantially worse than the prints you could make from your images taken by your phone. If you want a tangible comparison in the real world, head down to your local home decor store and find their generic wall art prints that are roughly poster size. I tend to comb over my work meticulously, sometimes to a fault, always trying to deliver something I’m proud of. Thus, when I say I could see myself printing and selling images at sizes up to 16 by 24 inches taken from my phone, that’s incredibly impressive. I”m very particular and detail-oriented when it comes to prints. When I reference a professional print, I’m referring to something I qualify as detailed and refined enough to sell to a client. I could easily sell images of this size that were taken by my phone professionally. Bump down to 8 by 12 inches through, and it’s a no-brainer. I had to push this capture a bit too far in editing, so the noise levels are higher than I’d like them at this size. I honestly think I could print some images from my phone at this size professionally - not this particular image but one that’s a little cleaner, with less noise and better shadow detail. At 16 by 24 inches, you’re getting close to being able to print at this size professionally. If you look closer at the light on the fence, you can see visible noise. Taking a closer look at the clouds, the ISO noise becomes more apparent. There’s more detail in the Canon R5 shot. When you get in close enough, especially when you’re comparing the two prints side by side. The results were quite impressive, and of course, there’s a quality difference. Let’s just dive into what you’re all here for, the poster-size prints. These were printed as C-Type prints on Fuji Matte. I had these printed by The Print Space, who were kind enough to send them to me for free. I printed in three sizes: 8 by 12, 16 by 24, and 24 by 36 inches. I specifically had to push the dynamic range and noise floor within this particular image quite far, which you'll see in the resulting print. I picked this image from the original comparison because it was the most dynamic, with the most detail and a shot that was more challenging for the iPhone. The Image from the iPhone 13 Pro to be printed This is a standard practice in photography and exactly what I did for the images from both my camera and my phone. For example, my Canon R5 produces images that can be printed as large as 27 by 18 inches at 300 dpi natively, meaning if I want to print larger such as 24” by 36”, standard poster size in the U.S., I need to enlarge them. No matter what camera you’re printing from, you might need to increase the resolution of your images before sending them off to be printed. I wanted to put that to the test and see just how big we can push these images in print. The results from that entire comparison were very impressive, but there was an overwhelming response that the images are passable for online consumption but not anything professional. Then I tried to match the iPhone images to those, which pushed some of the images in the process. A brief recap is that I tried to capture real-world images while in the field and then edited the Canon R5 images first and pushed them just how I would normally. We’ll be using an image from that article for this comparison. I highly recommend you check out that article to see my real-world comparisons and editing methods. I already did a full comparison of the iPhone 13 Pro to my Canon R5 in different conditions and settings.
