I shoot with a Canon 50D (15 MPix - ~4700 X ~3100), and a client has asked for 12000 X 12000 px images for a poster for a trade show exhibit. She wants 300 DPI at 40" X 40" because customers will be seeing the posters up close. The pictures are of a product about the size of your finger, so we're looking at 40-60X life size.
I shoot with strobes in my studio, so renting an LF camera and scanning back is not practical.
What are my options for taking perhaps a 3 image X 4 image matrix and stitching? That would yield an image well over her 144 MPix requirement.
How do I index both vertically and horizontally when taking a high-rez matrix picture?
Or, how can I convince the client that she doesn't really need 144 MPix for a 40in X 40in image?
Thanks,
