Hi Brian,

I don't think we're in sync yet.  What size prints are you making with your
resampled images?  What I am suggesting is you make that same size print as
that, from the original scan, not resampling...  And if you are making 3" x
3.6" prints, well, don't do that!  Make 8x10, and compare using that.  Even
13" x 19" for that matter.  What is the source negative size BTW?

Also, are we talking color or B&W?
