Upscayl & Canva Mock Ups + any other advice please
Apologies if I've not got to this yet, I've been trying to work through the questions asked in here working through a couple pages per day to see what's already been asked. I've just got a couple to ask please. 1. I just used Upscayl and upscaled a picture I took on an iPhone - I set it to standard 4x, it took around 18 mins. When it had competed, I could see it had gone from 4284x5712 to around 17000x22000. A fair few of my images at the moment are pictures I've taken, before I start making Ai ones. Was the amount of pixels I already had enough to make A0 without the Upscayl in this case? I'll see if I can check it before putting them through the software if so, or would it still have needed to be upscaled for A0? 2. I've built a filing system, got a basic excel tracker and given the files in my system my SKU names, at the moment they're basic and just DD-0001, as an example, next step will be taking the pictures and making the mock ups. To save time I was going to start off using some form of a bulk mock up and get to grips with it from the start. I'm using Canva, happy to pay for it if needed and in Canva pro. I've tried having a look at some YouTube videos - what I'm looking for is to create almost a mock up template, so that I just select a new piece of art for a new listing and it snaps into all the mockups in that template in one go, rinse and repeat - is that doable? Anyone use anything else that comes close to being that easy and uses Canva for creating their art? All help much appreciated - hoping to try and get a couple posters up by the weekend, just trying to take my time putting the right things in place as I go, to avoid issues later on down the line.

Penny drop moment there - That makes sense now. Pixels need to be at least to the dimensions of the largest print size at 300dpi, so the pixels aren’t stretched. So for A0 it would be at least 9,933 × 14,043 pixels. I’ll have a go with canva and then compare it to affinity, sounds a lot quicker. I think I know what you mean in terms of a zip, have a load one after the other and then zip them across. I’ll have a go. Thanks for your help 😊
Canva
Hi all, I’m just starting out using some photos I’ve previously taken to create some posters in canva. I’m trying to do it right as I go, best I can, so that I don’t end up hitting problems with sizing etc later. Just wanted to ask, does anyone have any good resources (apologies if I haven’t found them and they’re already in here) for creating and then making sure you do the download part properly, which file type to save in, what dimensions, as it gives an option (although it’s locked behind the paid version for me) - any advice really, from people who have already created and saved their posters would be really helpful, even if it’s just pointing me in the direction of some good YouTube vids 😊

I did spot that in the FAQ’s - the video about resizing. So if I wanted to make that at least 300 DPI, I’d start something new in canva, select the size I need, then add my image in and resize it in there to fit? Should I start by making it an A size, A3 or something?
