Those photos are stunning Nigel, just goes to show how much of photography is about the person behind the camera, conditions, lighting and location, not what’s used to take it. I guess the dpi of the prints didn’t matter too much in the end either which is good as it means I can stop worrying so much about printing a bit bigger with my old 450d. Thanks for the great video, all the best Nigel 👍
I've seen some large prints from phones that have initially looked impressive, however when you compare side by side to an image taken by a camera with a larger sensor you can immediately see the difference and in just how much better the image from the larger sensor camera is. That "over sharpened" look is the camera trying to compensate for that. The sensor size difference is comparable to the difference between 35mm and large format, there's just no replacement for displacement.
Yes, that's why medium format was considered the ideal format in that all enlargements would look good because of the distance we viewed them at. 35mm film just looks bad now.
This is true , but if you have to pixel peep ,the images has been lost on the viewer , if the image has impact the camera that was used matters little . Imagine asking Gordon Ramsey after tasting one of his excellent omelets,” what type of whisk did you use ? “ some of Cartier Bressons images are grainy when viewed closely ,but.....
@@DavidSmith-gj2dm I think a better analogy would be between free range and battery eggs, but I don't think you'd have to to the level of 'pixel peeping' to tell the difference.
It’s a given that if you compare large prints of a smartphone photo vs. a DSLR/mirrorless side by side, you will spot differences in quality. Thankfully, most people who frame a photo on their wall don’t constantly walk up to it with a higher-quality print to scrutinize for defects-and neither will their guests. In that context, “initially impressive” is what matters.
I have to say, seeing this video has saved me big time money. I am at a crossroads in my photography career. I shoot with just an iPhone 11 pro maxx. I have come to the point where I am selling small prints which is fine with the iPhone. I just recently had an art museum who wanted to carry my prints. They wanted big sizes. Every-time I tried printing one online, it says the resolution was too low. So I thought I had to buy a DSLR and start learning how to shoot with one. I really didn't want to do that. I just feel so comfortable with the iPhone. Just want to say thanks so much!
Ive been using my iPhone 11 pro instead of carrying wide angle lenses recently and have been shocked at how good they are, Glad you've confirmed it because most people scoff when I mention it.
I have got to say wow. 😮 I’m surprised how good they came out. I’d never thought of printing my iPhone images, but this has really changed my mind. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Just the video and content I've been looking for. This is what I'm planing to do with my landscape and outdoor images. I have a professional printer doing the printing work and the frames.
I use Samsung exclusively, so I can't say for sure what programs other manufacturers run. Even my old Galaxy S7 (2016) has "Pro mode" which negates automatic anything. I have complete control over every aspect of the composition. I've taken some very nice 15-second shots of the night sky. Excited for when Samsung re-ups on their supply of S20s so I can get the one I want. 108mp camera. O! M! G!
Interesting discussion of a topic that isn't often covered. How/when do you decide to send your image to a printer versus printing it on your own nice printers?
When printing from photoshop what Rendering Intents do you use ? Absolute Colorimetric, Relative Colorimetric, Perceptual or Saturation ? and how do you calibrate your screen, photoshop and printer to print what you see on your screen ? I have the Canon Pro-100 and am having trouble printing from screen to paper looks a little darker than on screen - I have to up the exposure in photoshop by 1 or 2 stops to get a correct exposure on paper
Fab video, answered all my questions, great quality filming, editing your shots are fantastic and your website is awesome too. I had just been told by a professional printing company, I could only blow up my iPhone landscape photos to 8 x 6, I was gutted as I have some lovely shots, you have just restored my faith in my iPhone. Thank you.
Good Video. A textured paper like you use here tends to reduce the detail of a high res image while at the same time that texture can create the illusion of more detail on a low res image. I guess a comparison on glossy paper would show more differences.
Enjoyed this latest video very much. It would be very helpful if you discussed your print settings in Lightroom .... color management, etc. And as a Canon printer, why don't you use the Canon Print Studio Pro.
Great experiment to share with viewers! One thing content creators don't seem to discuss very often is the lighting conditions used to evaluate prints. When evaluating your prints, what brightness do you consider ideal for evaluating print contrast and density? Many thanks!
Really excellent video Nigel, thanks for letting us see the comparisons, phones cameras have improved out of all recognition, that’s for sure. Stay safe, hope Pebbles is coping ok too!
Have to say that seeing such large prints made off of phone shots blows me away too. Had an urge of trashing my dslr and all the lenses and getting myself an iphone 😃 Great video which proves that what you need to take great photos is often phone that sits in one's pocket.
FYI the Google Pixel camera software applies all the AI goodies to the RAW images. They made that change about a year ago. Before that you had the same Raw vs Jpg (with AI) tradoff that is still present in iPhones today. On Pixel you can even use the Night Sight images as Raws
@@adnaantajammal2355 True! I see there is a 108mp android phone out there. I sent Nigel a phone through his ND2020, it was a photo I had taken in Iceland with my iPhone and I used the app slow shutter which created the water blur. I am starting to think toting around 30 pounds of camera gear will be a thing of the past.
@@jamesscarborough9545 phones still are horrible compared to actual cameras. My d3500 with my supertelephoto equivalent sigma dg would take any phone on earth for wildlife and it's still hard to get good results. And phones are horrible for astrophotography
I own an iPhone 7 and to be fair, any higher-end phone from that era onwards have amazing cameras for what they are; what drove me off is the way manufacturers “bake” their JPGs, usually over-sharpened and heavy on noise reduction. I started taking DNG files and I couldn’t be happier with its quality ☺️ I have yet to print that big but as far as A4 is concerned, no issues.
Wonderful video. Rather enjoyed it. I have successfully sold prints from my iPhone 11 Pro, but not quite this big. The buyer was thrilled with the print (paid me twice as much as I was asking), and never asked what equipment I utilized for the capture. Now, I certainly love all cameras and the results that can be achieved with various tools, but I now consider my phone photos as 'photography' just the same.
Thanks Kevin. What it was taken with shouldn't really matter. After all when we see a Monet we don't ask what make of brush he used... (maybe back then they did!)
I have printed before photos from my iphone up to A4 size and some panos for my wall. I never thought you can print this big from a camera phone. I am very impressed!
Great prints. The size of the sensor in this case makes a positive impact in the smartphone photos, quite sharp images from front to back. I would not mind having a bit of softness in the corners. I like the paper that you've used, has a nice texture.
From someone coming from the print production world, 72 dpi is not a very good resolution to print from unless the image is really big. 240dpi is great.
Despite looking at the results second hand through the video I went “Wow” when you showed the first pixel print. That’s a fantastic image! Now about these prints with 30% off, are you cropping them vertically or horizontally?
I recently had one of my heavily cropped and in Gigapixel-processed pictures printed and framed to 80cm square. WOW, amazing! So what’s left is the process of shooting with expensive gear vs. a soft click on a phone’s screen....!
simon maney Yes absolutely. It’s doing a wonderful job! I rescued old and cropped pictures and made them come to life again, quite stunning technology. The picture I talked about came from an iPhone 10mp and approx. cropped 40% out, so leaving about 6MP blown up to 11500px. (I know more than necessary but I ran the tests...). I am happy!
@@os6219 Fantastic feedback, thanks. I don't always get it right in camera and end up cropping a bit (horizons etc). This can sometimes be a bit limiting for big prints for 200+ ppi etc. I've upsized in Photoshop, but the results can be quite soft, at pixel level at least. This Gigapixel could be the answer, cheers!
Hi Nigel. Could you breakdown how Much one of those prints costs ? Paper and Ink wise ? Also would be great to know how many prints do you expect to make on that printer on a period of about, say, 4 years and what that means in cost terms per print also. Just wondering how much of an investment it represents and if it’s worth investing on that or just send out to print.
I’m thankful you didn’t fill this video with armchair (theoretical, academic or photography forum) discussion about dpi and that you just simply printed and evaluated the results. Nice job!
I use Gigapixel to enhance small sensor pictures to make bigger prints. I was blown away with the quality you achieved. I guess the trick is not to crop and do it all in camera.
Hi, first of all thank you for your useful channel and tutorial videos. I have 2 essential questions: 1) since I am working with my 27” iMac for organizing and reviewing photos and I live to edit my photographs by my 12.9” ipad 2021 (in Lightroom), should I invest and buy a Benq 4k/5k monitor or I can trust apple displays to see what I shot? 2) shall I calibrate my iPad Pro and iPhone 13 pro with my Eason 12 oculus sure pro for high quality printing?
Nigel ,Great Job well done . As always learning allot with your RUclips videos. This old dog learning new tricks. Ha! Ha! I guess your right by taking your iPhone with you on a shoot.
I wonder what the results would have been like in a more low light setting where the larger sensor size would have benefited such as a shot at dusk or moonlit lake.
Hey Nigel, nice photos, I remember watching a video of yours a while ago where you showed how you stamp and pakege your prints but I can't find it again?
I just love your channel Nigel! I've been watching you for a few years now. I'm a mobile photographer and this video was amazing. I've had a few photos made in canvas but wasn't happy with it. This video inspires me to find a good printshop and get my photos in print.
I don't understand. I thought that I heard you say that you were going to print the smaller printer borderless. But it looks like it came out with a border. Also, I didn't see you crop the photo before printing. Don't you have to resize the print for the aspect of the paper? Thanks.
Another great video. Did you say that you shoot these with Lightroom CC camera or straight iPhone camera? I find myself using Lightroom’s (RAW) camera more than the standard iPhone these days. Do you have a preference on which you like better?
Excellent video ! Very practical, did you edited a RAW image out of your phone via filmic pro ,or did you edit jpegs ? Thanks for great video , subscribed !
Awesome work, as usual and expected. It goes to show, it is ultimately the artistry and the craftmanship behind the camera. Wonder how the camera manufacturers would think of this, guess would make them pause a bit:)
And here was me worrying about shooting with a Canon 5d MkII and 7d MkI and thinking they were getting old. I'm sure Nikon, Canon, Sony are going to love you Nigel lol I have to say I was shocked at the quality coming out of the mobile phone images.
Hey nigel can you replicate this test on portraits. Id imagine the result of full frame vs phone portrait snap would expose the phone sensor weakness much more
Nice Nigel but I noticed your left arm is partly missing in time line segment 16:31 >16:32 repeat 16:41 > 16:47 repeat 17:01 >17:15 care to explain? Cheers
Hi love your images. Do you add borders or cur them to include one, I’m finding it impossible to get borders that are even on all sides I’m watching videos of how to achieve a good border but it always prints out slightly different, would be grateful for some advice. Thanks.
that is why the right paper for the right picture is very important. perhaps when printing a picture with a model on it will show that the model had "bad skin"... ? :)
@@NigelDanson OK. Then if the physical dimension of the pictures are same and you haven't change the resolution, lightroom automatically changes the DPI as needed. In that case DPI of camera image should be higher than phone image.
Good evening Nigel, I have an iPhone 8 Plus. I am sending my printing out to pro print shop. All my images need to be cropped for even a 4x6. How do I resolve this!? Much thanks in advance for your assistance!
Nice video. You really need the S 23 Ultra! Expert Raw is now built in and with your skill and tools you would very much appreciate it if not be totally blown away. 200 mp. I see this video is a couple years old so you may very well have it already.
Hi Nigel, have you tried qImage One for printing. So you easily can print multiple images on the roll paper, and use all the paper width. I used it for my 44" Canon printer, and wouldn't go back to printing directly from my editing program. You didn't show any ICC profiles - are you not using custom ICC profiles?
@@NigelDanson Looking forward to this, I love printing. Dad was a darkroom nut and Uncle ran a few Heidelberg. Now it's just me, a Z7 and an A3 Brother printer. Would love to know more about paper choices, ink importance and profiles 👌👌👌
Good video, just goes to show that within reason and in certain situations the camera used to take a photograph isn't always as important as people think. I'm currently using the Pro-10s which produces amazing prints but would love to have the ability to print at A1 sometimes.
Thanks for the informative video. As a San Franciso native I love your hat. Topaz Gigapixel A. I. is a tool that you need to try out. Imgine what you could do with a cage for your phone and some real lenses...
Awesome photos from a phone!! Very encouraging as my iPhone 12 Pro Max is a lot lighter to carry than my Canon and you never know when you're out and about and might see a great photo opportunity. May I ask a question about your prints? Why do you print them with a border instead of printing all the way to the edge? Thanks!
I love this video,if one shoot in Raw with your iPhone and edit it in lightroom and export it as a Tiff image 16 bit,will the quality be even more better?
That is unbelievable! I guessed wrong! It is incredible what phones can do, I printed a massive canvas that hangs in my front room from my Samsung S9 Edge, just wish it would shoot in RAW! Great video as always!
Amazing prints - particularly impressed with the iPhone 11 results. So the thought that goes through my mind is that are there compact cameras that take advantage of this AI technology - so I can replace my mirrorless sony as the lenses are so bloody expensive. Suggestions Nigel or anyone? Thanks, Zul
i spotted to iphone one on that rock photo, it looked more artifical and even in this youtube video showing them side by side from a far it looked oversharpened.
So glad I watched this. I wouldn’t have believed it was possible to print that high quality off a phone camera. Amazing results with gorgeous photos.
Always a thrill when you get to see your own work in a really large print.
Thank for sharing your time and photos Nigel.
Staying home staying safe.
I'd love to see an updated version with the new and improved phone cameras they are advertising are movie and professional photography level quality
I never thought this could be done so well with a phone. Awesome! 🙌

Hi love your images. Do you add borders or cur them to include one, I’m finding it impossible to get borders that are even on all sides I’m watching videos of how to achieve a good border but it always prints out slightly different, would be grateful for some advice. Thanks.
On the snow scene I thought there was a lot of artefacts in the grey sky....then realised it is the paper texture! Excellent vlog, cheers.
that is why the right paper for the right picture is very important. perhaps when printing a picture with a model on it will show that the model had "bad skin"... ? :)
Hey Nigel, was the DPI same for the images you compare side by side taken with phone and camera?
I don’t change actually DPI just calculate effective. So yes...
@@NigelDanson OK. Then if the physical dimension of the pictures are same and you haven't change the resolution, lightroom automatically changes the DPI as needed.
In that case DPI of camera image should be higher than phone image.
How much DPI was the bigger iphone print?
Good evening Nigel,
I have an iPhone 8 Plus.
I am sending my printing out to pro print shop.
All my images need to be cropped for even a 4x6.
How do I resolve this!?
Much thanks in advance for your assistance!
Great video as always. I wish I could get my prints just to look like they do on the mac before printing
Hello Nigel! I was wondering if you knew a good prints website where I can print my photos in a big format?
Sara Al Shibibi unless you provide your location you won’t get a good answer.
Did not see that coming :) Thanks Nigel
Nice video. You really need the S 23 Ultra! Expert Raw is now built in and with your skill and tools you would very much appreciate it if not be totally blown away. 200 mp. I see this video is a couple years old so you may very well have it already.
Hi Nigel, have you tried qImage One for printing. So you easily can print multiple images on the roll paper, and use all the paper width. I used it for my 44" Canon printer, and wouldn't go back to printing directly from my editing program. You didn't show any ICC profiles - are you not using custom ICC profiles?
Yep - use that and have custom profiles for all my papers. I will be going a video on printing paper shortly 👍🏼
@@NigelDanson Looking forward to this, I love printing. Dad was a darkroom nut and Uncle ran a few Heidelberg. Now it's just me, a Z7 and an A3 Brother printer. Would love to know more about paper choices, ink importance and profiles 👌👌👌
Good video, just goes to show that within reason and in certain situations the camera used to take a photograph isn't always as important as people think. I'm currently using the Pro-10s which produces amazing prints but would love to have the ability to print at A1 sometimes.
The Pro-10s are great!
Hey bro... Which paper did you use??
Do you have a video on print settings, margins, cell sizing per paper size, etc?
Why you select borderless and then boarders on paper? How?
Yep!
Camera phones really are amazing, not to be underestimated!
Thanks for the informative video. As a San Franciso native I love your hat. Topaz Gigapixel A. I. is a tool that you need to try out. Imgine what you could do with a cage for your phone and some real lenses...
ME: "Whoah that's an awsome pic."
HIM: "Not my favorite image..."
Awesome photos from a phone!! Very encouraging as my iPhone 12 Pro Max is a lot lighter to carry than my Canon and you never know when you're out and about and might see a great photo opportunity. May I ask a question about your prints? Why do you print them with a border instead of printing all the way to the edge? Thanks!
I love this video,if one shoot in Raw with your iPhone and edit it in lightroom and export it as a Tiff image 16 bit,will the quality be even more better?
That is unbelievable! I guessed wrong! It is incredible what phones can do, I printed a massive canvas that hangs in my front room from my Samsung S9 Edge, just wish it would shoot in RAW! Great video as always!
Thanks Andy
Amazing prints - particularly impressed with the iPhone 11 results. So the thought that goes through my mind is that are there compact cameras that take advantage of this AI technology - so I can replace my mirrorless sony as the lenses are so bloody expensive. Suggestions Nigel or anyone? Thanks, Zul
No, the larger sensor is what makes the Sony Mirrorless better.
the pentax q7. don’t let its age fool you!
This is sooooo helpful thank you. Subbed!
out of curiosity, how do you store all these big prints? how often do you pull them out and look at them?
i spotted to iphone one on that rock photo, it looked more artifical and even in this youtube video showing them side by side from a far it looked oversharpened.
Can u please suggest how to choose photo paper for printing landscape photography.
Watch this space 👍🏼
