But just for the sake of using some of the additional pixels, I re-rendered a few parts of the image at 300dpi. Well, as I wrote above I did resample the existing image to 300dpi (using GIMP).

Then I used POV-Ray to re-render a few interesting areas. For example, my wife wanted the ugly blue street sign to be as readable as possible. So I ran povray with the following options: +W11811 +H8268 (new dimensions of the full image) +SC8205 +SR335 +EC8770 +ER1150 (region of interest from 8205,335 to 8770,1150). This provided a higher resolution for that small area, while the other parts of the image were simply scaled up.
