00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.260
A cake photo can look perfect

2
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:04.020
on your phone and still look

3
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.090
blurry in print.

4
00:00:06.380 --> 00:00:08.280
Before enlarging, ask your printer exactly

5
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:09.770
how many pixels they need.

6
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.230
Kavya runs a home bakery,

7
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.360
and her printer wants an A3

8
00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:16.840
poster at three hundred dots per inch

9
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:19.330
from one small festival cake photo.

10
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.190
On pixelapi.dev, open Smart Upscale,

11
00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:24.490
choose Custom dimensions,

12
00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:26.200
and type the width and height

13
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:28.100
from her printer's brief with the

14
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:29.250
aspect ratio locked.

15
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.010
Check the result at actual size.

16
00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:33.970
Look closely at the piping,

17
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.070
the sprinkles and the lettering,

18
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.360
because enlarging can soften very fine

19
00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:38.830
edges.

20
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:41.760
Her website banner is far wider

21
00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:43.780
than the photo so pick white

22
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.660
padding rather than stretching and the

23
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:47.630
cake keeps its real round shape.

24
00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:52.110
Order one small test print first,

25
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:54.620
compare it with the screen and

26
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.720
send the final file only when

27
00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:58.790
the colours and edges look right.

28
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.920
Try Smart Upscale at pixelapi.dev with the

29
00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:04.680
exact size your poster or website

30
00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:06.780
asks for and always check a

31
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:08.330
proof before paying for prints.
