If you need somewhere to upload them PM me and I can give you an FTP address. That goes for everyone.

To do an 8x10" print, it would need to somewhere around 2500x3200px... which is pretty small for a poster.

Of course they can be stretched but I hate to make ugly prints on such a nice Xerox machine</endplug>

Don't forget that they should be around 300ppi as well, assuming you're going for a standard poster. As a Photographer, I print 13x19 up to 24x36" posters, and most people don't fathom the size required for that. 24x36 would be around 7200x10800 px, and uncompressed would probably be around 150-300MB

Some of these ideas are great, but you guys gotta make them HUGE for a poster. Most of the fanart/backgrounds/images on here are barely high-res enough for a 13x19 poster, let along something that will most likely be the final result.

Board: Zotac ION-A-U Case: M350 Mini ITX Memory: 4GB Patriot PC6400 OS: XBMC on OpenELEC.tv build 6936 on a Corsair 32GB SSD Media Storage: W2K8 running on 14TB RAID 5 on an Asrock board w/ AMD Athlon X2 250 and PERC 6/I controller w/ 8 Samsung HD204UI Green drives Time to interface from power switch: 22.4 seconds.

Well... they were done at 600ppi for this particular machine, but they're already done and in the mail Smile
