Banners

Is it possible to print banners with Photoshop Elements - I have just switched over from using the big Photoshop program on my Mac to PhotoShop Elements on the PC - As long as I create my new do***ent with dimensions of say 10" X 48" will it print as a banner if I set my custom paper to the same size? Thanks. sherrie

Ray, yes - same limitation in both. 4 feet long x 12 inches x 300 ppi =
14,400 so that's okay!

Thanks beth - I guess the worst that can happen is I'll waste a little banner paper.

Ok... what if I wanted to print a banner for an airplane ad campaing... ? Ok, never mind, I don't
like ads.. ;-)

Ehhh... isn't here a pixel limitation in PSE ? There's only a certain number of pixels in images
that PS7 can handle (I believe it's 30,000 x 30,000), so I guess PSE shares the same limit.

Will be curious to know how you make out. Who knows I just might try
one myself....You go first

Just only a few days ago I printed an image of 60x142 cm (almost 2x5 ft). No problem.

(definitely not a banner for an airplane to support an Austrian) ;-)

Ray in fact you can. The reason is an add large enough to fill a bill board
or the side of a plane will be viewed from many feet away and therefore you
will not need 300 dpi.

As far as I know images on billboards are printed at about 72 ppi. Consider it a giant monitor. ;-)

I wish, sometimes, I could turn these 'giant monitors' off... ;-)
