I’m exporting some files that might be printed and looking at the output sharpening options in Lightroom Classic called my attention to how large the PPI should be if wanting an image that’s clear but to minimize noise. It’s a challenging set because most of it has to be in color and the images are shot 3200-6400 ISO, some were denoised using Lightroom’s AI, but for the most part I denoise just a little less than to remove the noise “completely” in order to try and preserve more of the original look. Decided not to offer anything larger than 11x14” or 12x12” for printing due to the low light situation. Wondering if PPI should be higher or lower to minimize noise, if exporting already in 85-90 quality (jpg). Adding output sharpening only increases noise, so it makes sense to keep the resolution high; but now for future reference I’m actually curious what the real relationship would be between noise and PPI for printing.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
