Building a 200-megapixel wall graphic, part 2

Here is how we did it:

 

Knowing that we would have to make composite images for each of the reproductions and that each of the details of the Edo Pop prints would be a different size, photographer Charles Walbridge started with the size of the baffles and worked backwards.

 

First, Walbridge converted the twelve by nine-foot baffle to 144 inches x 108 inches. Knowing that this type of print should be a 100 DPI final image, he knew needed to photograph the prints in sections to build a final file that was 14,400 by 10,800 pixels.

 

Above: Charles Walbridge photographs a section of "Ichikawa Yaozo III as Umeomaru" by Kabukido Enkyo for Edo Pop.
