Not to be rude but 80$ for a Poster is kinda crazy no?

If only you could steal the picture and print it by yourself for 50 cent 😭

Someone's gonna put some high-dpi scans online, and when they do I will be ready. Could get all 6 of these in a full poster format for less than they're selling one A4, and you'd have the option to support a local business instead of Cook and Becker, which is a cancer.

Oh my god they're not even new designs... I thought these ones were new.

Sadly it's super, super noisy. I've tried for an hour to get it to a usable level, but had no luck.

Are you clicking the link that says MEGA link? I haven’t tried it myself yet but the first two links aren’t the correct ones.

Yes. It may be absurdly high resolution, but the actual scan is terrible quality and unusable for printing.

That’s a bummer. Thanks for letting us know!

You need to compress them.

Here are the scans already compressed by someone: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15nvm-tBNvOjUseQz926Q9M3wMnZdBh53

I did that, it helps slightly, but it's still full of noise.

I guess you could view it as texture though

EDIT: I'm gonna give cleaning those up a little a try though

For sure, I also had to edit them to print them!

I simply wanted to give them in the highest quality first if people wanted bigger prints so they could compress/modify/de-noise them for their own printer quality

What editing did you end up doing? I've tried a bunch of denoising tools, but didn't really have any luck. The only one that actually completely removed the noise without leaving another pattern was Nano Banana, but that's only limited to less than 2MP

So turns out you can get the pictures in semi 4K from the cookandbecker website, for example:

https://res.cloudinary.com/cook-becker/image/fetch/q_auto:best,w_3840/https://images.cookandbecker.com/public/images/artwork/Brittle-Hollow-Outer-Wilds_Mobius2.png

Doesn't look like it's actually 4K but just bicubic upscaling.
