I'd like to order 1 or 2 poster-size prints: 16x20 or 20x30.

1. Any recommendations for online companies that have done this for you?

2. I have a few 4MP images. Would it be best to resize these myself, with
Photoshop? Or will the online service have better software to do
interpolation?

Thanks.

Ed

I have used "EZ Prints".
They do excellent work at a very reasonable price.
They also handle your prints like Gold.

You are pushing a 4 meg for this but doing it in Photoshop is ok.
Experiment with different upsizing methods to see what looks best.
Keep the dpi at 300. Expect a file around 100m in size. Might be
best to error on the side or excess as far as colour saturation
and contrast goes, and noise reduction via Neat Image or some other
program will be important. Sharpness should be pretty high as well.
A faster way to do it would be to crop a small section of image and
try different combos on it. All this assumes you have the time,
otherwise letting a printer do it might be better.
