Brand New!! How To Gain A Large 300Dpi Tiff Impress Of An Ipad Sketch

...is the interrogation I've been bespeak always since I saw the Hockney exhibition.

So far I bring established:

• he uses the Brushes app on his iPad
• Hockney's people nation that to avoid pixellation equally the size of the impress increases, they operate a novel slice of software which allows prints inward a much larger format.

I've looked together with looked on the Internet together with I tin flame uncovering no shout out of the shout out of the software.  So I asked the interrogation the other agency circular - the search query was "software used past times Hockney to preclude pixelation for large prints of ipad drawings"!

So what's the software?

I'm yet non certain - but I've found a suggestion - past times a chap called Russ Croop (towards the bottom of the page inward the link) - who's a lensman who has been creating large prints from iPhone/Brushes. I've summarised his suggestion below

Brushes Viewer app website - equally good available equally an Apple app

There is a Brushes viewer (the quote is from the Brushes app site)

You tin flame opened upwards your .brushes paintings inward Brushes Viewer, a gratis application for Mac OS X. Brushes Viewer allows you lot to replay your paintings stroke for stroke, export them at rattling high resolutions (up to 1920 x 2880), together with fifty-fifty export them equally QuickTime movies.

1. Use Brushes Viewer to export iPad sketch at 5X the native size (using the TIFF format) which produces a large file
2. Import to Photoshop Elements together with behave on upwards imperfections (eg unpainted spots)
3. Select Image/Resize/Image Size
4. Unselect resample image box 
5. Type 300 inward the resolution box (which changes the file to a higher resolution ie 300dpi which is what is commonly required for professional person printing) but creates a much smaller image
6. Select resample image box
7. Check you lot bring the units right for the size of ikon you lot desire (eg inches or cm)
8. Type inward the size of the ikon you lot require (eg xx inches high) - together with PS Elements resamples it to create a novel large ikon @300 dpi together with keeps the aspect ratio inward proportion together with hence long equally you lot equally good bring the "constrain proportions" box checked
9. Also brand certain that the Bicubic Smoother is selected (option only below the resample command) as this is the best selection when enlarging images.

I tried it - together with I right away bring a rattling large digital sketch 20x16" inward Tiff format sitting on my iMac - which was originally created on my iPad.

I followed all the instructions except for the Brushes viewer chip at the outset equally I already had the digital sketch on my iMac.

Now tin flame anyone ameliorate on that equally a method of enlarging digital sketches created on an iPad?

Any queries? Any suggestions?  Any recommendations? 

PS  Two to a greater extent than posts today related to the Hockney Exhibition

• Book review: H5N1 Yorkshire Sketchbook past times David Hockney on Making H5N1 Mark reviews
• Hockney: sketchbooks, iPad sketching together with the Yosemite Valley on The Art of the Landscape  This is the postal service which triggered this postal service - because I wanted to know how Hockney is creating the rattling large images from the iPad.
