Hi, i just had a quick question. i was going to get a few of my pictures printed to hang up in my room, and i was wondering what would be a good size to enlarge the picture. Im using the canon rebel xt and i have a standard size room. Oh and the printer can enlarge a picture up to like 24x36 but thats to large for my room.
thanks in advance.

20x30 prints look awesome from my rebel xt, so I would say anywhere from 20x30 and below would be just fine. For example maybe a 20x30, 11x14, 12x18 or 16x20.... some sizes may need a bit of cropping though.

I have a couple of 20x30 prints and they are large. A little overpowering in a small room.

Half that would be good - 10x15

Or, something I like the look of, is a series of smaller prints (9x6 or 12x8) arranged in a square/rectangle on the wall. Work well if you have a set of shots from the same shoot, with the same style/lighting etc...

For a standard size (10' by 10') room 10 x 15 should be plenty big when matted and framed.

It all depends on how you want to arrange your images. If you want a few you could go smaller and fill space on a wall with a few of them.
