To find the height and width for a lifesize cutout from a digital image, you’ll need to consider the aspect ratio of the image and the intended height of the cutout. Follow these steps:
Determine the aspect ratio of your image: this is the proportional relationship between the height and width of your image. Find it by dividing the height of your image by its width—for example, if your image is 2400 pixels high and 1800 pixels wide, the aspect ratio would be 4:3 (2400/1800=1.33).
Choose the intended height of your cutout: our lifesize cutouts can be made up to 72 inches high, depending on your needs.
Calculate the width of your cutout: once you know the aspect ratio of your image and the intended height of your cutout, calculate the width of the cutout by multiplying the intended height by the aspect ratio. For example, if you want a cutout that is 6 feet tall (72 inches) and your image has an aspect ratio of 4:3, the width of your cutout would be 96 inches.
Adjust the width if necessary: depending on the resolution and quality of your image, you may need to adjust the width of your cutout to avoid distortion or pixelation. Email hello@littlerockprinting.com if you have any questions and we’ll help walk you through the process.
