Reading the board

Each card shows the largest print the Met's file makes at 300 dpi without cropping — that's the sharpness you'd want for something you'll stand close to. The biggest file in this set isSea Cove, at 3,811 × 2,802 pixels: enough for a 12.7 × 9.3 in print at 300 dpi, or 25.4 × 18.7 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags one of these as a collection highlight: The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak.

Every page has a size chart against standard frames, the museum record, and the frame and light that make a print look like it cost more than it did. The file itself is free. It always was.
