Here is a scenario to consider: Let's say that I have just completed an impasto-style painting, saved as a TIFF file with one layer. The finished file will be enlarged with Nano Pixel and printed out on a very large canvas, 40 inches by 60 inches at 300 dpi. I have 32 gigabytes of memory in my Windows 11 Pro machine, and am painting with Rebelle Pro 8.2.5. Let's also say that I never create more than four layers at any given time. Given these resources and requirements, what would be a recommended image size when I am setting up a new artwork in Rebelle? I'm asking this question because I don't have a feel for what Nano requires in order to produce a mural-size enlargement with no loss of detail. Any guidance that you have will be much appreciated.

[QUOTE="debitspread, post: 33704, member: 195043"] Here is a scenario to consider: Let's say that I have just completed an impasto-style painting,.. [/QUOTE] Never mind!:I just figured it out! To those who may still be puzzled: I set up a little 6x4 inch canvas at 300 dpi, made a simple painting, saved it as a TIFF, and then brought up the Nano Pixel export. Amazingly, I was able to produce an 18,000 x 12,000 pixel enlargement (...and larger, if that's what I had wanted). I now totally see how great this feature is: Create at a modest size, then enlarge to a stupendous size... without a loss of quality. Thank you, Escape Motions!
