Hello everyone, It's my first time posting here. I'v been searching for a few hours online and youtube on how to do this, without much luck. I'm wanting to start to learn how to prepare graphics in photoshop for a mural. I'm not sure where to start with the document settings (am not used to print large format), I've printed only up to A4 paper size, or larger canvas.
Attached is a plan for a wall, it's in a unique shape. There's another wall, but it's almos identical.
I've read that it's best to work in one document, rather than in "pieces", but if I'm wanting to create a document with the max height and weight (1885 cm height and 1406.8 cm width), but as you can imagine when I created a document at that size, at 180 resulotuion or higher, its HUGE, over 36GB. So I feel that the best way to prepare is focus on the dimentions and ratio, because painters don't obviously need a document that big, they need the right dimentions to get started.
Ive read some things about how to decrease the size but am still a little confused - do I decrease it by 80% or less?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, I hope I have explained my situation correctly.
Thank you.
