Making Prints From Mobile Devices
Thanks to the advancements in today's smartphones and tablets, you can now make some great prints of candid moments that will last a lifetime. The result depends on the sensor size or megapixel rating, the aperture and focusing capabilities.
If you are planning to produce a print from either your smartphone or tablet, it is recommended that you do not enhance the image by using manipulation software downloaded onto the device. While suited for enhancing an image to be viewed on your tablet or smartphone, they are not ideally suited for producing print quality files. Most of the smart apps available for enhancing pictures on mobile devices quite often introduce unwanted artifacts and lead to over sharpening, produce noise and cause image degradation. We strongly suggest that prior to using any of the smart photo enhancing apps or features, you turn "auto-enhance" off and make a copy of the image preserving its native state.
