a client wants me to design them an ad to go on the side of their van that they drive around. i'm using some super high res photos that i need to enlarge. the problem is that photoshop won't go bigger than 100 inches!
what do i do?

I would assume some math would be involved. Since the images are going to be big on the side of the van, there's no reason to have them above 150dpi on the final output. If the side of the van were 168 inches (hypothetically speaking) then let's just cut that in half to 84 inches to accomodate our photoshop area, then have the image res. at 300dpi. You could maybe even go to 1/3 or 1/4 the final output size and bump the rez's appropriately so the final output is 150 dpi at actual size.

a. talk to the ones who are going to print it, it's their specialty and they should help you out / know everything you need to know.
b. .5 is right though, no need for hi hi-res if it's needed big but again see point a.

Instead of that, just tag it up, spraypaint the side of the van at night.

Give it to the printer as a % of the final size as long as you let them know
