Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around how to take a photograph of a set of images that preserves their physical dimensions when printed. Participants explore methods for ensuring that the images maintain their specified size (axb) when sent as physical prints, rather than digital files.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
- Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks a method to photograph images of size axb so that they remain the same size when printed.
- There is a question about whether axb refers to pixels or inches, which is clarified to be inches.
- Some participants suggest sending the images intact or combining them into a PDF for easier transmission.
- Another participant emphasizes the need for the images to be printed at a 1:1 scale at the final destination, cautioning against issues with different paper sizes.
- There is a suggestion to use a Word or Visio document to control scaling and page size for printing.
- One participant likens the situation to the requirements for passport or visa photographs.
- Another proposes that resizing the images to the required physical size and confirming the DPI with the recipient could be a solution.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express various methods and considerations for preserving image size, but there is no consensus on the best approach. Different perspectives on how to handle the images and the printing process remain evident.
Contextual Notes
Participants note the importance of ensuring the correct physical dimensions and scaling when printing, highlighting potential issues with different paper sizes and DPI settings.
