Create super-resolution images in software to print your photos BIG

Modern cameras have resolutions that photographers of the last decade could only dream of – things have come a long way in very short time. The standard is now seen as around the 30MP mark, while it's not uncommon to find full frame mirrorless cameras with sensors higher than 50MP. With pixel counts such as these it is possible to print massive reproductions and crop heavily, without losing detail. 

Even so, when using older models, cameras with smaller sensors or when you require far higher resolutions than normal, image blending is a solution. Capturing a scene across a series of image segments, rather than in a single shot, enables the native sensor resolution to be increased in the final result by an unlimited amount.
