I am getting an image printed 6'x2' and was wondering, should I enlarge to:

1. 300 dpi in photoshop, so 21,600 pixels.
2. 200 dpi in photoshop, so 14,400px.
3. Or submit the original file (D300 12MP) and let the printer do it's thing?

I won't be pixel peeping at the image but it will be closer than optimum viewing distance for a 6ft image, so I want it to look it's best.

I'd be looking at whatever Genuine Fractals is called nowadays if you haven't already

You have an image made of 4,288px on the long side, hence spread over 72" will be 60ppi. Apart from the upsizing route as suggested, that's yer lot smile
