panoramic pictures

[bilko]

Hi everyone
I took this one about 2 months ago. A view of Caerphilly ( Wales, near Cardiff ) if i was pointing in the right direction

I took loads together and used my Camedia package to stich them together and this is the best result of 3 pics stiched together.
thing is Fotango only offer 10*8 as their largest and longest where i feel the image would be badly distorted as it's more suited to say 8*12. Anyone know where to get a decent hard copy?
The full size image is 3833*1289 pixels and my pc doesn't like it anymore, think it's become unstable so i can't change to distance measurementsso in fact would that make this pic roughly 3 times longer than tall?. If so 8*24inches would be better. Argh! that would look so good in a frame!
Thanks
Ian
Edit to add> just realised that Fotango would actually put the picture in the middle with space top and bottom in white and although the image would be in the right dimensions i feel it lends itself to slightly larger dimensions.

Photobox www.photobox.co.uk/ do a 12" x 5" panoramic and 20"x8" panoramic prints if that's any good.


Cheers

You could use banner paper in your PC, or put it on a CD and take it to your local photo shop/Jessops as most of them are set up for digital printing nowadays.

I've used Photobox for printing panoramas. The quality of both the sizes is really good and I was very happy with their fast turnaround.

It's another option to consider along with Jessops.

Also, for the 12*5 panorama (and I think also 20*8) there's a few nice picture frames in John Lewis / Ikea which do three (?five) standard prints one above another in a portrait format. Turn this to landscape format and it makes a nice sized frame for one panorama. All you need to do is get a local art shop to cut you a mount for a few quid. Overall much cheaper than getting a bespoke frame made up.

Jesspos online service is way cheaper and I've never had a problem with quality. £1.99 for 15"x10"

Cheers; iv'e downloaded their onlie software and sent off for a couple of panoramic prints. see how they turn out. Then ran spysweeper and it didn't pick anything up apart from the usual bunch of cookies which is cool. Good template to work from as well.
