A word about megapixels
In order to gain the most flexibility from the photos we take, all photos are shot at a minimum of 5 megapixels. Contrary to marketing hype, megapixels have nothing to do with the quality of an image, but rather indicate the actual dimensions (width x height, in pixels) of an image. The quality of an image is determined by the camera's sensor, lens quality and processing cababilities, combined with the skill of the photographer.
While megapixels tell us little about the quality of an image, they do affect just how closely a printed image matches it's digital source. The larger the dimensions of an image, the better the print quality will be. As a rule of thumb, there should be at least 150 pixels for each inch of printed artwork. For photos it should be 200 pixels per inch, or more.
As an example, our artwork is printed on canvas at a size of 13 x 19 inches, requiring a minimum image size of 1950 x 2850 pixels (13 inches * 150 pixels per inch and 19 inches * 150 pixels per inch). This would be the equivalent of about a 5.5 megapixel image (1950 pixels * 2850 pixels = 5,557,500 pixels).
