Hi Henrik, very good questions. First of all let me say that the UpScaling is still in Beta and a few Graphic Cards are not supported. In those cases it uses the CPU and it may be slow. But in 90% of cases it works very well. It scales up an image up to 4 times. But here we are talking about pixels, so if an image is 250x250, the end result would be a 1000x1000 image. The DPI is only used for printing purposes. So getting to your example, 20x30 cm is 7.87x11.81 inches. If you want to print at 200 DPI your image has to be 1574x2362. To print to 1000x1500cm 300 dpi the resolution for the image is (if my calculations are correct) 117,900 x 177,165 pixels, which is a huge image. Honestly I don\u0027t think I\u0027ve even had an image so big here :) It\u0027s technically possible to reach that size with the UpScaling, maybe applying it 2/3 times on a regular size image. But the problem is the time that it\u0027d take, it could be very slow and for sure you need a powerful Graphic Card.\u000aAbout the shareability, you can use any external HD or cloud folder. The only requirement is to make the files available offline (so the \u0022online\u002Donly\u0022 features should be turned off) and you should access from one computer at a time cause right now we don\u0027t handle concurrency.

Hi Thomas, (sorry \u002D think I somehow did a double posting (also beneath your answer to another SumoLing)...\u000a \u000aWow ! So not only super valuable app (keeping me sane) , \u002D also super good \u0026 fast reply \u002D Love it :\u002D)\u000a\u002D Last answer first \u002D super cool, also being able to more or less integrate content on the external HD :\u002D)\u000a\u000aYes, figured \u002D upscaling, if possible to do such \u0022XXXXXL\u0022, would \u0022cost\u0022 CPU + time, fortunately for my use case its fortunately a one time of 8\u002D10 images.. not an daily task :\u002D[] :\u002D)\u000aSo, glad to hear you unfolding \u0022the how\u0022 a bit, :\u002D) , making me think MediaPlace will become part of my workflow creating my Big\u002DA** size poster images :\u002D)\u000a\u000aPerhaps the optimal solution would be to do a bit less upscaling, ex. \u0022only\u0022 an 4X, and then transform it into a vector image, to keep the file manageable when printing, but also as the motive is a bit \u0022oil\u002Dplastic\u002Drealisme\u002Dcartoon\u002Dstyle\u0022 ex. as used by Rockstar North (https://www.gtavice.net/content/images/official\u002Dgrand\u002Dtheft\u002Dauto\u002Dvi\u002Dtrailer\u002D1\u002Dartwork.jpg)\u000a\u000aThanks again\u000aBig fan\u000aHenrik
