I checked.... if the resolution does not allow for enlargements of a certain size, they will not show that size.
Also when ordering, in step 7: Prints Size and Quantity, choose advanced order and next to get a full grid of all the photos by size. The button in the upper left lets you add new sizes to that grid.

Shouldn't 2607 x 3650 by high enough to allow for poster prints?

[Matt]

sure... that's what, 10 mp? I don't see why you aren't getting those optons.

I'll send them an email...just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something simple.

Heres another question...what options do you choose for printing? Gloss, satin, etc. Other options such as protective spray etc. Would either of these two benefit from a metal print?


Most likely, these two:

I always go Matte or Luster (satin) especially if framing. Luster is probably the best, less intrusive on the actual photo.
Gloss was a Kodak invention of the 80s -- as it was a premium that labs charged for. It supposedly looked sharper and had more color. That's not true. It only has more reflection, and prints tended to stick together in a stack.
If framing, go for matted or luster to reduce those reflections.

Silver (not sure if Adorama is confusing this with metal) is a silverish paper best suited for black and whites. Your white point becomes silver and although it looks cool, you lose contrast because of this. I have seen some nice color portraits on it, but also some ones that make people look sick because of the silver white point. You could do that B/W one in silver, I would just exaggerate the contrast before printing.

Metal is the newest thing. I'm not a huge fan of it. I have some samples I got from some metal printers and I was never wowed me enough to justify the expense. It's basically enamel on aluminum, and then covered with a clear coat to seal it. A lot of people use it for HDR (maybe because it matches that gritty industrial look) or nature (greens show up very well).
