Afternoon,
I've saved a pictured as a jpeg file and want to know if anyone can recomned somewhere that can print it for me? Ideally I'd like it in A3 (on photographic paper)
Also I'd prefer to e-mail the file in order to speed things along.
Any help greatly appreciated

when you say "saved as jpg" where from? There is a chance you'll not get your picture blown up to A3 without losing a significant amount of quality.

"borrowed" it off a web-site.
Thanks for the pointers on that site- it's great, but you're right about the size. A5 is the max they can do with out big frightening red messages telling me that the original is too small.
Thanks

you can make it a bit bigger by increasing the size incrementaly using something like photoshop (i.e. increase the size in 10% steps) but the chances are the quality of the original is snookered either way.

Why not contact "webmaster@ the site you visited.com.whatever" and ask for a higher quality copy of the original?

I know if someone emailed me I would be flattered and probably oblige.

If it started to happen frequently I'd think about setting up a mechanism for people to buy prints, but I think I'm a way off that yet!
