It's a truck. It was driving around playing Renai Shashin. And yeah, it's awesome.  |

If you have enough money you can make stand-up Otsuka model for yourself, do you know? You must take the very best PDF photo you have to Kinko's or some similar place, they can make large blow-up of this and mount on cardboard or foam core material! Use PDF file photo because there will be less quality loss when enlarged, this is how we enlarge our engineering drawings. If you cut out around Otsuka's body and tape a perpendicular piece of material on the back of this, it will stand up by itself! Remember do not enlarge the photo more than 155 cm top of head to bottom of feet, unless she is wearing high heels in your picture! but I think she does not wear high heels very much, neither do I, because it is easy to lose my balance and fall down! Kinko's is very expensive, probably this will cost one week's salary! so you must really really want this! LOL!
P.S. to WhiteChocolateMocha: I will give you same fashion tips as from Otsuka:
(1) wear clothes that are comfortable for your work or school, and
(2) clothes don't have to look good alone, clothes must make you look good! |

That's actually not true with photos. It doesn't matter what file format you use, because photos are raster images (i.e. they're made up of pixels). When you scale up a raster image, the quality loss depends on the software you use to scale it up, not the file format. There will always be a loss of quality when you scale up a raster image. If you start with the exact same photo in TIFF, PSD and PDF format, resize them all in Photoshop, you will get exactly the same result with all of them.
For your engineering drawings that would be true, because they're probably vector-based. If you save vector-based artwork in AI, EPS or PDF format, the vectors are preserved and then you can resize it all you want, with no loss of quality. Unfortunately, photos are not vectors, they're raster images, so there will be no benefit at all if you save it in PDF format first. |

| Ah so, thank you so much, Stormchild, this is very interesting! I always think photo would be the same as CAD drawing but I guess this is not truth if photo is already pixelated. Although our photos we receive from Mars spacecraft, especially Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, are also pixelated, yes? and we are able to make very large prints from these, wall size! with high definition! Perhaps we are using some other process for this, I will ask, perhaps there is additional signal processing or enhancement involved while printing. |

Yes, photos are always made up of pixels. Perhaps you're just taking very high resolution photos. With a high enough resolution, you can make very large prints that are high quality and don't appear pixelated or blurred. The giant picture of Ai on the side of the Renai Shashin truck was of course a photograph, and simply taken at a high enough resolution to allow it to be scaled up to that size and still look sharp. |

Stormchild is right, very interesting discussion btw.  Kinda off-topic but you guys might want to take a look at this digital photo (just click your way through), it's claimed to be the world largest digital photo at the moment, that is 8.6 gigapixel in resolution. 
btw, there's also rasterbator if you want to blow up your image for huge print that still look pretty decent in quality. Wikipedia has an explanation about what a rastebator is.  |

I've got a friend who works in advanced display and optics technology, who has seen a 60 gigapixel camera prototype; I think this was at MIT. That would probably be the highest resolution one in the world right now, but it's not an actual product you can buy.

Haha, that's quite a charming name. |

I understand. You cannot buy our HiRISE camera either, anyway you will not want it so many millions km away! I do not know the CCD capacity of HiRISE but it is resolving 1m elements from an orbital distance that varies between 200 km and 400 km. You can know about the instrument here:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/spacecraft/sc-instru-hirise.html
and you can see pictures of Mars surface here:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/main/index.html
so anyway, if Otsuka is 100 meters tall and she is taking a nap in Valle Marineris, we will have first picture of her! and suddenly space exploration budget will go very up! |

That's awesome.
It sounds like you have a pretty cool job. |
