Large print size order, do i need to re-upscale?
Hi all, Ive just had an order for 11"x14", ive resized the image in canva, do i then need to use upscayl before uploading it to print? i dont pay for canva and so can only download to "medium" quality. I have the upscayl app installed but yet to use it. any ideas what to do here? and if i need to use upscayl, how do i use it for this purpose? Thanks all.

@Anna Morris Just an fyi, I'm an extensive user of ChatGPT Image 2, spend a couple hours or more writing prompts for it and using it daily. It does not upscale. It rerenders your image by passing it to it's native image model, Image 2.5. It's a complete rerender. I'd be very surprised if your upscales are the actual images upscaled, or 'reimagined' by ChatGPT and from what I've seen, the 'upscales' are below 2x. If you ask ChatGPT to 'Upscale' an image, you're going to get both Generative Drift (Faces, fine text, delicate linework, textures, and subtle details are rewritten or hallucinated rather than preserved) and loss of the original image fidelity, i.e, edge sharpness, structural preservation, and possibly other random changes.

I have to calculate upscales so frequently I created a Gemini Gem for this purpose, basically works the same as a custom GPT but you'd need to be logged into a Google account, most people have a Google account... I share it publicly at this link: https://gemini.google.com/gem/361878bbb10f/a2ab28a16d38b356?usp=sharing Just type in "Let's calculate an upscale" to start. It might be useful for you.
Over upscaled
Hi I’m working with nature images which are nice and painterly but when I subtle upscale them in MJ the effect is too hard, like the leaves on the bushes are hard dots. Can I leave upscaling to an exterior program where I have more control? Thanks.

MJ upscale subtle is generally very good. But if you want more control, you can experiment with Upscayl https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl/releases . For even more control, especially since your style here is 'painterly' (impressionistic? ) there are some very interesting generative fill upscalers such as Magnific, Krea AI, and if you want to offload your upscaling to the cloud, which makes sense if you dont' have a machine capable of running Upscayl, or local upscaling is too resource-intense for your setup, Leonardo.ai has an amazing upscaler at about the lowest monthly cost last time I compared, and the 'generative fill' is very flexible with some cool results. Magnific.. is ridiculously pricey..
Shopify Integration is Live!
Heads up to those of you who sell on Shopify, our order integration is now live! 😆 It works the exact same as Etsy integration. Simply connect your store, click a button and all of your orders will import over to PrintShrimp. See here for the details and the install link, or head to Integrations within PrintShrimp: https://printshrimp.com/pages/shopify-integration If you are reading this as a new seller and are just getting started on Etsy, do NOT worry yet about Shopify! We recommend Etsy as the starting platform for a reason. However, if you have been selling on Etsy for a while, Shopify is the next logical step in your poster selling journey. It takes a lot more time to see results, but can really work in the long run. We will be releasing a lot more info and advice on how to succeed with selling on Shopify in the next couple of months 👀

This is kind of a big deal 🙂

Shopify is a ways down the road, I have to be clearly profitable first as Shopify is a whole other level of fees and expenses, but yes, it's the next step. 🙂
Mockup help
EDIT (I’m ok now, thanks everyone) I can't get my head around mockups and the different file types (before last week the only computer use I had was ordering online 🫣) I bought some mockups from Etsy and me being the idiot that I am thought I would just click on one and poof...my poster would magically fit in the mockup. In simple terms if possible where am I supposed to open them up to edit? Everything I go on seems to need a subscription, I do have the Canva Pro can this be used? I did try but I didn't know how to get my uploads into the mockups where the frames are at an angle 😵‍💫needless to say I have a headache and am just going round in circles now. Is there any videos anyone can recommend please. Anything please.

@Jay S Nobody is born knowing this stuff, it's can be maddening and confusing.
First refund, advice please 🙏🏻
I list vintage style travel posters and I’ve had a refund request based on pixelisation and quality although I’m torn whether I should accept as it’s the style, maybe I’m blinkered 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any honest thoughts appreciated, maybe the description or images need to show the listings aren’t as sharp Here’s a link to one listing and the image they took I’d the print… https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4547068751/tofino-canada-vintage-travel-poster?ref=share_ios_native_control
First refund, advice please 🙏🏻

Oh God, I had to listen 4 times to discern that this is a nasty, morbid song?! Love, death, food chain, and finally eaten by his friends? I think. Lovely voice and accent, I'll take it over the monotonous New York and Boston accents that have worn me down over the years, thanks for sharing.. I think?? 🤔
